TR19 Inspection in Pyle Hill
TR19 inspections, grease thickness testing, pre-clean surveys and post-clean verification for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Pyle Hill. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Missing access panels found on survey
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
TR19 inspection in Pyle Hill, done properly
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. The work covers insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean.
Work in a small place like Pyle Hill starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so it can be fixed before the clean.
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Pyle Hill and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

What TR19 inspection looks like in Pyle Hill
The FSA’s data shows about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Pyle Hill. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Pyle Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Woking council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Pyle Hill. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Souls' Church, or anywhere in Pyle Hill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Commuter trade near Worplesdon station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

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.

What we’re called out for in Pyle Hill
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Woking Community Hospital about 2 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What insurance they carry
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Pyle Hill
Can a school canteen extract in Pyle Hill be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Pyle Hill. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Can you work in Pyle Hill outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Pyle Hill needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
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, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Verification means repeat readings and pictures once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. Our report sets your readings against both.
