TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in St George's Hill
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. The work covers wet film thickness tests, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks, and the jobs we see most are extracts that have never been grease tested and missing access panels found on survey.
For a smaller kitchen near St George's Hill, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from St George's Hill
Is St George's Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, St George's Hill is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for St George's Hill?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers St George's Hill. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
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. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
What affects the quote in St George's Hill
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Need a price for TR19 inspection? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few details about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Do you need TR19 inspection in St George's Hill?
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.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
For schools such as Manby Lodge Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
TR19 inspection in St George's Hill: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 18 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central St George's Hill. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers St George's Hill. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Elmbridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in St George's Hill. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A kitchen near Weybridge station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as No. 2 New Zealand General Hospital (about 2 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
