TR19 inspection in Windlesham
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Windlesham and across Surrey a clear record of the system’s condition. Typical jobs include sites with gaps in their extract records and missing access panels found on survey, across wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and access surveys.
Kitchens around a place like Windlesham are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away 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. For a site near Windlesham, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What we are called out for in Windlesham
When a site in Windlesham changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St John the Baptist or anywhere around Windlesham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Windlesham
Which fire authority looks after Windlesham?
That’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who inspects food businesses in Windlesham?
In Windlesham, it’s Surrey Heath council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What is grease thickness testing?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
Is Windlesham in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Windlesham, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
A post-clean check records grease readings and photos after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so following it is the sensible course.

Kitchen extracts in Windlesham
Food Standards Agency data counts about 12 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 6 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Windlesham. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Windlesham is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Surrey Heath council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Windlesham. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
