TR19 Inspection in Sutton Green
Our technicians work in Sutton Green on TR19 inspections, grease thickness testing, pre-clean surveys and post-clean verification. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Sutton Green knowing what to expect.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Sutton Green
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 insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks, and the jobs we see most are surveys needed before quoting a full clean and parts of the system left out of past cleans.
Somewhere as small as Sutton Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Never cook with filters missing
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.

Kitchen extracts in Sutton Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Sutton Green. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Sutton Green are the job of Woking council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Sutton Green is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Woking Community Hospital about 2.4 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Souls' Church, or anywhere in Sutton Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Historic houses near Sutton Green, such as Clandon Park about 3 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so it can be fixed before the clean.
Sutton Green questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Sutton Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Sutton Green are carried out by Woking council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Sutton Green?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Sutton Green. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. We show your readings against those figures.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sutton Green
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you won’t know without measuring. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. 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.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Sutton Green
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
