About our TR19 inspection in Stoke D'Abernon
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. The work covers deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and parts of the system left out of past cleans.
For a kitchen in or near Stoke D'Abernon, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Stoke D'Abernon
Look up Stoke D'Abernon on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 21 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops in Stoke D'Abernon and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. In Stoke D'Abernon, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Elmbridge council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Stoke D'Abernon sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Stoke D'Abernon is Epsom Cottage Hospital, about 3.9 miles east. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Parkside School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A kitchen near Cobham & Stoke Dabernon station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Common questions in Stoke D'Abernon
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Stoke D'Abernon?
Fire safety enforcement in Stoke D'Abernon is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which council inspects kitchens in Stoke D'Abernon?
The local authority for Stoke D'Abernon is Elmbridge council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Can you quote from pictures?
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 do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Stoke D'Abernon
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Stoke D'Abernon and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stoke D'Abernon
Sites in Stoke D'Abernon that have never measured grease cannot tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. In a place like Stoke D'Abernon, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Stoke D'Abernon can be planned properly.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so it can be fixed before the clean.
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
