TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Shottermill
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. The work covers deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are surveys needed before quoting a full clean and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen.
In a smaller place like Shottermill, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Common questions in Shottermill
Can you come to Shottermill after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Shottermill needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire service covers Shottermill?
Fire safety enforcement in Shottermill is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
When should we have our next grease test?
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Shottermill and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. In a smaller place like Shottermill, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

TR19 inspection around Shottermill
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Shottermill, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Shottermill get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Shottermill. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you cook for passing trade around Haslemere station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition 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.

Why act early in Shottermill
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, before the next clean is due. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
