Pachesham Park kitchens: local notes
There are about 33 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 12 sandwich bars and takeaways across Pachesham Park and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. It’s Elmbridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Pachesham Park. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Pachesham Park 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Epsom Cottage Hospital (about 2.2 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Therfield School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (The Homewood is about 3 miles north-west), access may need planning.

TR19 inspection in Pachesham Park
Taking on a kitchen in Pachesham Park with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. If you have ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Pachesham Park, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Pachesham Park knowing what to expect.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.
Why it’s worth doing now in Pachesham Park
Sites in Pachesham Park that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. A fault that closes a site in a village like Pachesham Park affects everyone who depends on it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
Pachesham Park questions
Can school kitchens in Pachesham Park be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 9 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Pachesham Park. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is Pachesham Park within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Pachesham Park included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
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.
What is grease thickness testing?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. The results are given in microns.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® isn’t law; it’s BESA’s specification. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Pachesham Park?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
How we price TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of sites or systems
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
