Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
About our TR19 inspection in Normandy
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. The work covers wet film thickness tests, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and people most often call us about kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements.
Somewhere as small as Normandy, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays to avoid disruption.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Normandy
Kitchens in Normandy get their food hygiene inspections from Guildford council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. About 30 miles out from central London, Normandy is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mark or anywhere around Normandy, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Wyke Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Normandy is about 4 miles east of Aldershot, in Surrey. Across the GU3 area, we can carry out TR19 inspection at your premises. 395 places in Surrey are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots.
Every address in GU3 is within our area for TR19 inspection, from busy streets to back roads. TR19 inspection is available to premises on Manor Farm Close, Guildford Road and Milton Close and the roads around them. We also cover the places around Normandy: Willey Green (1 mile east), Flexford (1 mile south), Christmas Pie (1 mile south), Wyke (1 mile west) and Wanborough (2 miles south). We also work in nearby towns such as Guildford (4 miles east), Woking (6 miles north-east), Camberley (6 miles north-west), Farnham (6 miles south-west), Egham (13 miles north-east) and Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-east).
Around Normandy
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Duke of Normandy pub and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Wanborough station, roughly 0.7 miles south of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Ash Museum (2.1 miles west) and Guildford Hospital (2.6 miles east). Open spaces near Normandy include Hog's Back and Ash Ranges.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Somewhere as small as Normandy, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Common questions in Normandy
Can you come to Normandy after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Normandy?
Normandy is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, before anyone starts cleaning. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you cover Normandy?
Yes. Our technicians work in Normandy, within the South East and London area we cover.

When to call us in Normandy
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, so those sections can be skipped time and again. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so the gaps can be closed.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
A hospital like Guildford Hospital, about 2.6 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What happens if it’s left?
If a kitchen in Normandy has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Why us?
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- Every visit written up, with photos
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
