How we handle TR19 inspection in Bexon
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. The work covers access surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean.
For a kitchen in or near Bexon, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
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.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. They’re included in the readings and photos.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays so meals are not affected.
Kitchen extracts in Bexon
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bexon. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. It’s Swale council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bexon. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Bexon is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bredgar Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Common problems we fix in Bexon
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, so those sections can be skipped time and again. An inspection of a system in Bexon shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
Look out for any of the following:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St John the Baptist or anywhere around Bexon, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Bexon knowing what to expect.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Also in Bexon
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Never cook with filters missing
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
FAQs for Bexon
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Bexon?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Bexon. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can the work in Bexon be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Bexon can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How often should grease be tested?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. It lets us plan the clean and give you a fixed quote.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Leave it or put it right?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in Bexon a current picture. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
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 explain each part.
