TR19 inspection in Upper Halliford
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. The work covers insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and access surveys, and the jobs we see most are systems that need surveying before cleaning and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning.
In a small place like Upper Halliford, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- File every inspection report with your certificates
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Upper Halliford
The Food Standards Agency lists about 27 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses in and around Upper Halliford, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Upper Halliford is 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. Kitchens in Upper Halliford get their food hygiene inspections from Spelthorne council. 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as No. 2 New Zealand General Hospital (about 1.4 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Upper Halliford, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
We are 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 around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Upper Halliford.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. We take readings there and photograph it on every inspection.
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.
