Somewhere as small as Teasley Mead, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Teasley Mead questions
Will you come out to Teasley Mead?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Teasley Mead included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Teasley Mead?
The local authority for Teasley Mead is Wealden council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Teasley Mead is Kent Fire and Rescue Service.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Teasley Mead
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
A kitchen near Ashurst Kent station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The timing of a visit to Teasley Mead is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
