TR19 inspections in Redlands

TR19 inspection in Redlands, done properly
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. If you’re dealing with extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and missing TR19 certificates or history, we can help, from access surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests onwards.
In a small place like Redlands, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re 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.

What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so the base is a key test point.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays to avoid disruption.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.

What else we do in Redlands
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Redlands
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Crondall Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
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’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

TR19 inspection around Redlands
Redlands 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. Kitchens in Redlands get their food hygiene inspections from Hart council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Redlands, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Redlands is Fleet Community Hospital, about 3.6 miles north.
Redlands is about 3 miles south of Fleet, in Surrey. Redlands gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. Our area takes in 395 places across Surrey, large and small. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 12 miles away.
Work in GU10 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. We also cover Warren Corner (1 mile east), Crondall (1 mile south-west), Dora's Green (1 mile south-east), Ewshot (1 mile east) and Bowling Alley (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cover Guildford (12 miles east), Woking (13 miles north-east), Camberley (9 miles north-east), Farnham (3 miles south-east), Frimley (7 miles north-east) and Haslemere (12 miles south-east).
Landmarks near Redlands
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Plume Of Feathers Public House, St Nicholas' School and Court Moor School, among other places. The closest station to Redlands is Farnham station, roughly 2.9 miles south-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Hart Shopping Centre (3.1 miles north) and Museum of Farnham (2.4 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Farnham Park and Beacon Hill.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. For a village or hamlet like Redlands, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Questions from Redlands
Which fire authority looks after Redlands?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Redlands. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Will you come out to Redlands?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Redlands is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Redlands?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
How long does grease testing take?
As a guide, it takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so you don’t have to close during trading.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is not law; it’s BESA’s specification. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is 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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
