TR19 inspection in Send
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 are on. The work covers pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and wet film thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are extracts that have never been grease tested and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits.
In a smaller place like Send, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Send?
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Clandon Park is about 2.9 miles south), access may need planning.
Before you book anyone
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Send
The FSA’s data shows about 7 pubs and bars registered across Send 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. Send is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Send. 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.
Where a hall near St William of York, or anywhere in Send, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. 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 Send, about 2.1 miles north-west.

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Send can usually be finished without a second trip.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit

- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

How to get a quote

Send: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Send?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Will you come out to Send?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
Can you quote from photos?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Why survey before a clean?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and photos. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What affects the quote in Send
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. A site near Send that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What a clean will not put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Flag oily drips near the extract
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
