About our TR19 inspection in Aldington Frith
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you have kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Aldington Frith, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

FAQs for Aldington Frith
Which environmental health team covers Aldington Frith?
That is Ashford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Aldington Frith. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire authority looks after Aldington Frith?
Fire safety enforcement in Aldington Frith is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Aldington Frith?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning right away.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, pictures and any inaccessible areas. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Typically, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Aldington Frith, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Flag oily drips near the extract
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and photos. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Aldington Frith
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
If you need TR19 inspection in Aldington Frith, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

What a clean won’t put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Aldington Frith
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Aldington Frith is William Harvey Hospital, about 3.2 miles north.
