TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in West Molesey
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. Typical jobs include insurers asking for TR19 evidence and checking the result of a recent clean, on post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys.
For a smaller kitchen near West Molesey, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. We test at points along the run through access panels.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
What TR19 inspection looks like in West Molesey
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 22 pubs and bars in West Molesey and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in West Molesey get their food hygiene inspections from Elmbridge council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers West Molesey. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to West Molesey is Teddington Memorial Hospital, about 2.1 miles north-east. If you run a café or takeaway near Hampton station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
How it works
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’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. For a place like West Molesey, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
We do not 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 get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

FAQs for West Molesey
Do you clean school canteen extracts around West Molesey out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 13 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of West Molesey. You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Can you come to West Molesey after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in West Molesey needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. We can work from photos and details, or visit, as suits the job.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we’ll set the report out to match.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
How we price TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in West Molesey
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, so those sections can be skipped time and again. An inspection of a system in West Molesey shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
Look out for any of the following:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
School kitchens, at schools like Chandlers Field Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
