TR19 Inspection in Peaslake
TR19 inspection for Peaslake, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
How we handle TR19 inspection in Peaslake
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Peaslake and the rest of Surrey. The work covers wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are sections of duct that can’t be reached and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

TR19 inspection around Peaslake
Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Peaslake. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Peaslake sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

FAQs for Peaslake
Can you work in Peaslake outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Peaslake does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Is Peaslake within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. It lets us plan the clean and give you a fixed quote.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

When to call us in Peaslake
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
A hospital like St. Luke’s Hospital, about 5.8 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether they recommend a next date
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether they’re fully insured
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Peaslake, let us know and we will plan around it.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
Advice
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on in Peaslake
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Never cook with filters missing
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
