TR19 inspection in Sutton Abinger, done properly
Taking on a kitchen in Sutton Abinger with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. If you have extracts that have never been grease tested and systems that need surveying before cleaning, we can put it right, from pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits onwards.
In a small place like Sutton Abinger, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Sutton Abinger: your questions answered
Can you come to Sutton Abinger after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire authority looks after Sutton Abinger?
Sutton Abinger is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
What affects the quote in Sutton Abinger
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Sutton Abinger
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Sutton Abinger. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. In Sutton Abinger, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Guildford council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Sutton Abinger falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St James, or anywhere in Sutton Abinger, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hatchlands Park is about 4.3 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Belmont Prep School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
What happens if it’s left?
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, which you won’t know without measuring. A fault that closes a site in a village like Sutton Abinger affects everyone who depends on it.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Never cook with filters missing
- Flag oily drips near the extract
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Sutton Abinger and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
