TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Worcester Park
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. Common call-outs are for uncertainty over how often to clean and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, on pre-clean surveys, access surveys and insurer audits.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Worcester Park is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Worcester Park?
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
If you run a café or takeaway near Worcester Park station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
Before booking anyone
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What records you will receive afterwards
What a clean will not put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- A faulty or failing extract fan
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Worcester Park
Which council inspects kitchens in Worcester Park?
The local authority for Worcester Park is Epsom and Ewell council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can school kitchens in Worcester Park be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 24 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Worcester Park. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What is post-clean verification?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and photos. It works whoever carried out the clean.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
TR19 inspection in Worcester Park: the local picture
Look up Worcester Park on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 117 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 71 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Worcester Park, up to about a mile and a half out. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. Fire safety in Worcester Park falls to London Fire Brigade. 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 hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Worcester Park, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like Cuddington Community Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
