Why it’s worth doing now in South Park
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- In business since 2009
- Photo reports with every job
- We diagnose before we treat

About our TR19 inspection in South Park
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. Typical jobs include kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean, on insurer audits, access surveys and pre-clean surveys.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like South Park gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Kitchen extracts in South Park
The FSA’s data shows about 25 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central South Park. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in South Park falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in South Park get their food hygiene inspections from Reigate and Banstead council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
For schools such as Sandcross Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to South Park is East Surrey Hospital, about 2 miles east. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Luke's or elsewhere in South Park, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

We also cover the places around South Park: Reigate (1 mile north), Sidlow (1 mile south), Irons Bottom (2 miles south), Leigh (2 miles south-west) and Dawesgreen (2 miles south-west).

Around South Park
In South Park, that means kitchens and buildings near The Bell Public House, Castle Grounds and Reigate Grammar School. South Park’s nearest station is Reigate station, roughly 1.1 miles north of the centre. Nearby you will also find East Surrey Hospital (2 miles east) and Reigate Priory Museum (0.7 miles north).

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.

What else we do in South Park
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Never cook with filters missing
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
How we price TR19 inspection
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

Your questions about TR19 inspection in South Park
Can you work in South Park outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in South Park keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire authority looks after South Park?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers South Park. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What is grease thickness testing?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
Do you work in South Park?
Yes. We cover South Park and the rest of Surrey, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we will survey first.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like South Park, so let us know how to reach it.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
