TR19 inspection in Norney, done properly
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. We’re often asked to deal with insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and missing TR19 certificates or history, on deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests.
In a village or hamlet like Norney, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, out of sight of the kitchen.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Norney
Which fire service covers Norney?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Norney. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can school kitchens in Norney be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Norney, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
When should we have our next grease test?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, TR19® is not legislation. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes, and that’s how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Grease, kitchens and Norney
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs and bars across Norney and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Norney. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Norney is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Norney, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Historic houses near Norney, such as Loseley Park about 2.5 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Norney is about 5 miles south-west of Guildford, in Surrey. Whatever kind of site you run in Norney, we can take on TR19 inspection. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. 395 places in Surrey are on our list, large and small.

The countryside around Norney includes Farncombe Wood and Lower Lake.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Norney?
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
What we are most often called out for:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Mary's CofE Voluntary Controlled Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the price is fixed
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Why act early in Norney
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. In a small place like Norney, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Why us?
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- A fixed price before any work starts
- In business since 2009
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Visits to a village like Norney are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
