TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Bough Beech
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. The work covers post-clean checks, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are systems that need surveying before cleaning and confirming a clean reached the whole system.
For a kitchen in or near Bough Beech, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Why deal with it now?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. In a small place like Bough Beech, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What else we do in Bough Beech
What TR19 inspection looks like in Bough Beech
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses in and around Bough Beech, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Bough Beech are the job of Sevenoaks council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Bough Beech. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Bough Beech (Hever Castle is about 1.1 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Tandridge Priory is the nearest hospital to Bough Beech, about 5.6 miles north-west.

How we price TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced 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.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Bough Beech.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bough Beech
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
FAQs for Bough Beech
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Bough Beech in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Bough Beech. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bough Beech?
That is Sevenoaks council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Bough Beech. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How long does grease testing take?
It takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
Verification means repeat readings and photos once the clean is done. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
