About our TR19 inspection in Virginia Water
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. If you are dealing with sites with gaps in their extract records and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, we can put it right.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Virginia Water gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Questions from Virginia Water
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Virginia Water in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 7 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Virginia Water, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
Which fire service covers Virginia Water?
That is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so you do not have to close during trading.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It works whoever carried out the clean.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, 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.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Virginia Water?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
How we price TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will explain what it covers.

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:

What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, with testing showing whether more is needed.
Kitchen extracts in Virginia Water
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs, bars and clubs across Virginia Water and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Runnymede council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Virginia Water. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Virginia Water falls to 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Christ Church or anywhere around Virginia Water, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St. Peter's Hospital (about 2.5 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For kitchens close to Virginia Water station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
