Do you need TR19 inspection in Stanwell Moor?
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Town Farm Primary School & Nursery tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What paperwork you get at the end
TR19 inspection in Stanwell Moor
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Stanwell Moor and across Surrey a clear record of the system’s condition. Typical jobs include sections of duct that can’t be reached and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, across wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests.
Work in a small place like Stanwell Moor starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we do, step by step
We are 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. The visit itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. In a small place like Stanwell Moor, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
What affects the quote in Stanwell Moor
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- 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 isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Why deal with it now?
If a kitchen in Stanwell Moor 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. In a small place like Stanwell Moor, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Stanwell Moor
Food Standards Agency records include about 9 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Stanwell Moor. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Spelthorne council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stanwell Moor. 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. The fire and rescue service for Stanwell Moor is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
For kitchens close to Heathrow Terminal 5 Rail station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Stanwell Moor, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Questions from Stanwell Moor
Do you work at weekends in Stanwell Moor?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Stanwell Moor needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work in villages like Stanwell Moor?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stanwell Moor is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted ahead of the clean.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, not in itself. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
