TR19 inspections in Ramsnest Common

- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- File every inspection report with your certificates
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
TR19 inspection in Ramsnest Common, done properly
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. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. Common call-outs are for kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, on post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and access surveys.
Somewhere as small as Ramsnest Common, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Ramsnest Common questions
Who inspects food businesses in Ramsnest Common?
In Ramsnest Common, it’s Waverley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you work in Ramsnest Common outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Ramsnest Common needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
What do the grease readings need to be?
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. We show your readings against those figures.
What does TR19 inspection cost?

TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, with recommendations where something needs doing.
How we price TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Ramsnest Common
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Post-clean checks
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
