TR19 inspections and grease testing in Beal's Green, Kent
TR19 inspection for Beal's Green, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.

- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
How we handle TR19 inspection in Beal's Green
Before any clean in Beal's Green, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. The work covers access surveys, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are parts of the system left out of past cleans and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning.
Work in a small place like Beal's Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Visits to a village like Beal's Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
What we’re called out for in Beal's Green
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Marlborough House School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Questions from Beal's Green
Who inspects food businesses in Beal's Green?
That is Tunbridge Wells council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Beal's Green. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you come to Beal's Green after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Beal's Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
A post-clean check records grease readings and photos after the work, whoever did the clean.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® isn’t law; it’s BESA’s specification. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Kitchen extracts in Beal's Green
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Beal's Green. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Kitchens in Beal's Green get their food hygiene inspections from Tunbridge Wells council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Beal's Green. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Beal's Green is Ticehurst House Hospital, about 4.8 miles west. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Beal's Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
