About our TR19 inspection in Walton on the Hill
Taking on a kitchen in Walton on the Hill with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers access surveys, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests, and people most often call us about heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and extracts that have never been grease tested.
In a village or hamlet like Walton on the Hill, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. 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 Walton on the Hill are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Advice
FAQs for Walton on the Hill
Do you work overnight in Walton on the Hill?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Walton on the Hill needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Walton on the Hill in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Walton on the Hill. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, out of sight of the kitchen.
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters don’t mean a clean plenum. That’s why we test behind them.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Design faults in the extract system
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
Grease, kitchens and Walton on the Hill

The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Common problems we fix in Walton on the Hill
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Walton on the Hill is Headley Court, about 1.6 miles north-west.
Before you book anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Proof of insurance
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep to the recommended interval
- File every inspection report with your certificates
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
