Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. Readings and pictures are taken in the plenum as part of every survey.
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, as grease can build up there too.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Woldingham Garden Village
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. Common call-outs are for missing access panels found on survey and uncertainty over how often to clean, across insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests.
For a kitchen in or near Woldingham Garden Village, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean

Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Woldingham Garden Village is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Design faults in the extract system
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Woldingham Garden Village before we set off.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system

Questions from Woldingham Garden Village
Who is the fire and rescue service for Woldingham Garden Village?
That is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Woldingham Garden Village during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Woldingham Garden Village. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Why survey before a clean?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and pictures. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
