TR19 inspection in Redhill
Taking on a kitchen in Redhill with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. Typical jobs include missing TR19 certificates or history and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, across wet film thickness tests, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits.
Around a town like Redhill, extract cleaning usually means a restaurant, pub, takeaway or the kitchen of a school or care home. Each has a canopy, filters, ductwork and a fan to keep clear of grease, and each is cleaned to the same TR19® standard.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Redhill
Do you work at weekends in Redhill?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Redhill during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 12 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Redhill. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What is post-clean verification?
A post-clean check records grease readings and photos after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
Why survey before a clean?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, as suits the job.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.

Common problems we fix in Redhill
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It is not legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
For kitchens close to Redhill station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- When the next visit should be, and why
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
Redhill kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 19 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Redhill. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Reigate and Banstead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Redhill. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Redhill is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hospital like East Surrey Hospital, about 1.3 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Saint Matthew's Church or elsewhere in Redhill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Redhill is about 9 miles north of Crawley, in Surrey. Every kind of commercial site in Redhill, we can take on TR19 inspection. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running.

Local landmarks in Redhill

Nearby you’ll also find The Belfry (less than half a mile north) and Surrey Fire Museum (1.2 miles west). Open spaces near Redhill include Colley Hill and Reigate Heath.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Photos taken on a phone are typically enough for us to plan a job in Redhill and give a fixed quote.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Why it’s worth doing now in Redhill
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. Dealt with now, it’s a planned visit around your hours rather than a callout when the site needs to be open.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Why Redhill businesses choose us
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- We’re fully insured
- A fixed price before any work starts

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Design faults in the extract system
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Mechanical faults in the extract
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
