About our TR19 inspection in Pyrford Village
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 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, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests, and people most often call us about heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen.
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.

What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work

- Deposit thickness tests

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Pyrford Village
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Pyrford Village and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Pyrford Village are the job of Woking council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Pyrford Village is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
For schools such as Pyrford Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Woking Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Pyrford Village, about 2 miles west.

What affects the quote in Pyrford Village
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Pyrford Village: your questions answered
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Pyrford Village out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 5 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Pyrford Village, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Can the work in Pyrford Village be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Pyrford Village keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
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 it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Pyrford Village, let us know and we will plan around it.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Get a fixed quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What else we do in Pyrford Village
What we’re called out for in Pyrford Village
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Nicholas's Church, or anywhere in Pyrford Village, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What to look for in a quote
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
