TR19 inspection in Onslow Village, done properly
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you have pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and parts of the system left out of past cleans, we can help, from wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests onwards.
Around a smaller place like Onslow Village, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos 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 we are called out for in Onslow Village
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints' Church or elsewhere in Onslow Village, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Advice
FAQs for Onslow Village
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Onslow Village out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 24 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Onslow Village, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Onslow Village?
Food hygiene inspections in Onslow Village are carried out by Guildford council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, whether that is late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Onslow Village
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays so meals are not affected.
What happens if it’s left?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- File every inspection report with your certificates
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Design faults in the extract system
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
