About our TR19 inspection in Stoneleigh
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. Typical jobs include heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and missing access panels found on survey, across wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks.
For a smaller kitchen near Stoneleigh, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
When it’s something else

- Design faults in the extract system
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. The fire and rescue service for Stoneleigh is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Stoneleigh
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St. Ebba's Hospital about 1.5 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
