TR19 inspection in Whitmoor Vale
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Whitmoor Vale and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed.
In a village or hamlet like Whitmoor Vale, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved

- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays so meals aren’t affected.
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.
Kitchen extracts in Whitmoor Vale
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Whitmoor Vale. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Whitmoor Vale get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Whitmoor Vale sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Beacon Hill Community Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Haslemere and District Hospital is the nearest hospital to Whitmoor Vale, about 3.5 miles south-east. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Luke or elsewhere in Whitmoor Vale, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Leave it or put it right?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. Somewhere as small as Whitmoor Vale, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
Questions from Whitmoor Vale
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Whitmoor Vale?
In Whitmoor Vale, it’s Waverley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Whitmoor Vale?
Fire safety enforcement in Whitmoor Vale is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we will survey first.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
When should we have our next grease test?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Whitmoor Vale and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
