TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Tandridge
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you’re dealing with confirming a clean reached the whole system and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, we can help, from post-clean checks, access surveys and pre-clean surveys onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so trading is not affected.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Somewhere like Tandridge, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- 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.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we will tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
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.
Tandridge questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Tandridge?
That’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you come to Tandridge after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Tandridge can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Any access problems are flagged so they can be sorted first.
Do you cover Tandridge?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Tandridge.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we’ll set the report out to match.
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 cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Tandridge

Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Tandridge is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. It’s Tandridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Tandridge. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Titsey Place, about 3.4 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Tandridge; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tandridge
Sites in Tandridge that have never measured grease cannot tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Tandridge is calmer for everyone.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Tandridge
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Tandridge, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
