TR19 inspection in Outwood
Before any clean in Outwood, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. If you are dealing with ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and confirming a clean reached the whole system, we can put it right.
In a small place like Outwood, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
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.

How the visit works
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 around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. For a village or hamlet like Outwood, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

When to call us in Outwood
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; East Surrey Hospital is the nearest hospital to Outwood, about 2.9 miles north-west.
Questions to ask before booking
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Outwood: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Outwood?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Outwood. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you cover smaller places like Outwood?
Yes, Outwood is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
A post-clean check records grease readings and pictures after the work, whoever did the clean.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and that’s how we prefer to work. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, whether that is late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
How often should grease be tested?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
How we price TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Why deal with it now?
If a kitchen in Outwood 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. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Kitchen extracts in Outwood
It’s Tandridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Outwood. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Outwood sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Outwood, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Oakwood School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Flag oily drips near the extract
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and photos. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
