TR19 inspection in Tattenham Corner, done properly
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. If you have parts of the system left out of past cleans and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, we can help, from post-clean checks, access surveys and wet film thickness tests onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

TR19 inspection around Tattenham Corner
Food Standards Agency data counts about 24 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 6 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Tattenham Corner. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Fire safety in Tattenham Corner falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Tattenham Corner, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Reigate and Banstead council. 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.

A kitchen near Tattenham Corner station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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. Leave those to us.
What happens if it’s left?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. A fault that closes a site in a village like Tattenham Corner affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Keep the route to access panels clear
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Tattenham Corner.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
What affects the quote in Tattenham Corner
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether several sites go on one quote
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

Tattenham Corner questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Tattenham Corner?
Food hygiene inspections in Tattenham Corner are carried out by Reigate and Banstead council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can school kitchens in Tattenham Corner be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Tattenham Corner. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, along with any actions needed.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is not law; it’s BESA’s specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
What we are called out for in Tattenham Corner
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Epsom Downs Primary School and Children's Centre, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Design faults in the extract system
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
