What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Visits to a village like Tuesley are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
TR19 inspection in Tuesley, done properly
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Tuesley and the rest of Surrey. If you are dealing with post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and systems that need surveying before cleaning, we can put it right, from insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Tuesley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
A written report with photos follows every visit, 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.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Tuesley
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Tuesley out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Tuesley. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you get to a site in Tuesley?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Tuesley is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What do the grease readings need to be?
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. Our report sets your readings against both.
How long does grease testing take?
As a guide, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
Kitchen extracts in Tuesley
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Tuesley. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Tuesley get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Tuesley 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.
If you cook for passing trade around Milford (Surrey) station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John the Evangelist's Church or elsewhere in Tuesley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tuesley
Without readings, you are guessing when to clean. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you will not know without measuring. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Tuesley rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.

What we are called out for in Tuesley
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
A hospital like Milford Hospital, about less than half a mile south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning

How the job changes from site to site

Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. Readings and photos are taken in the plenum on every inspection.
