TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Old Dean
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Old Dean and across Surrey a clear record of the system’s condition. The work covers wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests, and people most often call us about confirming a clean reached the whole system and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean.
Kitchens around a place like Old Dean are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, 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. Around Old Dean, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Kitchen extracts in Old Dean
Food Standards Agency data counts about 14 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 11 sandwich bars and takeaways across Old Dean and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. In Old Dean, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Surrey Heath council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Old Dean is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Old Dean is Frimley Park Hospital, about 2.4 miles south-west. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Martin's Church or anywhere around Old Dean, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like Collingwood College for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. We record what can and can’t be reached.
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
