How we price TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Upper Eashing
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. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. Typical jobs include checking the result of a recent clean and uncertainty over how often to clean, on insurer audits, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys.
Somewhere as small as Upper Eashing, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Questions from Upper Eashing
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Upper Eashing?
Upper Eashing 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.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Upper Eashing?
That’s Guildford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Upper Eashing. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll book around them.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Part by part
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Visits to a village like Upper Eashing are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Common problems we fix in Upper Eashing
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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Loseley Park is about 2.7 miles north-east), access may need planning.

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 28 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 8 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Upper Eashing. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Upper Eashing. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Upper Eashing is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mark's Church and Community Centre or elsewhere in Upper Eashing, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Mark and All Saints Church of England Primary or anywhere near Upper Eashing, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
