TR19 inspection in Smallfield, done properly
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. The work covers access surveys, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are surveys needed before quoting a full clean and confirming a clean reached the whole system.
In a smaller place like Smallfield, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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.

How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Visits to a place like Smallfield are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- 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.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us where we can park and unload

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Kitchen extracts in Smallfield
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Smallfield. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Smallfield. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Smallfield are the job of Tandridge council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like East Surrey Hospital about 3.8 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Burstow Primary School or anywhere near Smallfield, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Leave it or put it right?
If a kitchen in Smallfield has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Booking now means the visit to Smallfield is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.

Smallfield questions
Who inspects food businesses in Smallfield?
Food hygiene inspections in Smallfield are carried out by Tandridge council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you come to Smallfield after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Smallfield can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover Smallfield?
Yes. We work in Smallfield and the rest of Surrey, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
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.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Smallfield?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
