About our TR19 inspection in Peasmarsh
A fixed schedule does not 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. We’re often asked to deal with uncertainty over how often to clean and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, on wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests.
In a small place like Peasmarsh, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Peasmarsh
Can the work in Peasmarsh be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Peasmarsh needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Peasmarsh?
Yes. Peasmarsh is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so following it is the sensible course.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, by WFTT or DTT. Each reading is recorded in microns.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Common problems we fix in Peasmarsh
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Farnham Road Hospital is the nearest hospital to Peasmarsh, about 1.9 miles north.
Before you book anyone
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.

Other services in Peasmarsh
Grease, kitchens and Peasmarsh
Food Standards Agency data counts about 15 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 takeaways across Peasmarsh and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. It’s Guildford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Peasmarsh. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Peasmarsh sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A kitchen near Shalford station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. School kitchens, at schools like Broadwater School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters do not mean a clean plenum. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
What happens if it’s left?
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, so the clean covers the whole system. It’s simpler to plan the work at Peasmarsh now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
