TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Stoughton
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. If you have missing access panels found on survey and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, we can help, from deposit thickness tests, access surveys and wet film thickness tests onwards.
Kitchens around a place like Stoughton are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, 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.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Everything the job in Stoughton needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Stoughton
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stoughton?
That is Guildford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Stoughton. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you get to a site in Stoughton?
Yes, Stoughton is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. It lets us plan the clean and give you a fixed quote.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
How often should grease be tested?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Stoughton?
Grease is fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
A hospital like Guildford Hospital, about 1.2 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
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.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
TR19 inspection around Stoughton
The Food Standards Agency lists about 34 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses across Stoughton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Stoughton 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. Food hygiene inspections in Stoughton are the job of Guildford council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Emmanuel Church or elsewhere in Stoughton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For schools such as Stoughton Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What else we do in Stoughton
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
