Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
About our TR19 inspection in Boughton under Blean
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 clean can be planned properly. Typical jobs include kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, across deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and access surveys.
Work in a small place like Boughton under Blean starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- Design faults in the extract system
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system

What affects the quote in Boughton under Blean
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Why act early in Boughton under Blean
