Our TR19 inspection service in Medway
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites across Medway a clear record of the system’s condition. Typical jobs include systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, across post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests.
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.

TR19 inspection across Medway: local notes
Across Medway, from Gillingham, Chatham and Rochester outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.
Across England, including Medway, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work. Parts of Medway are on or near the coast, where salt air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings. We look for corrosion as well as dirt on coastal sites.
Gillingham: Where a hall near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Gillingham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Gillingham (Restoration House is about 3.3 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.
How we price TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays to avoid disruption.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Keep the route to access panels clear
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Medway
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so you do not have to close during trading.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. Our report sets your readings against both.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Medway?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.

Yes. We work in Medway, within our South East and London area. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
