TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Bromley Green
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. If you have kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, we can put it right, from wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests onwards.
Work in a small place like Bromley Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, out of sight of the kitchen.
How we price TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Bromley Green run smoothly.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear the space around the work
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

TR19 inspection in Bromley Green: the local picture
We cover Bromley Green, about 50 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Kitchens in Bromley Green get their food hygiene inspections from Ashford council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Godinton House is about 4.5 miles north), access may need planning. Term dates shape school work: for a school like John Wallis Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Bromley Green is about 3 miles south of Ashford, in Kent. Whether your site is in the middle of Bromley Green or further out, TR19 inspection is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Bromley Green is one of 922 places in Kent we cover for TR19 inspection. For sites nearby, see our Maidstone page, about 18 miles away.
TR19 inspection in TN26 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover.

If your site is just outside Bromley Green, we cover Orlestone (1 mile south), Stone Cross (2 miles east), Hamstreet (2 miles south), Ruckinge (3 miles south-east) and Kenardington (3 miles south-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Ashford (3 miles north), Folkestone (14 miles east), Faversham (15 miles north), Hythe (10 miles east), Davington (15 miles north) and Preston (15 miles north).

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Bromley Green
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Bromley Green?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Bromley Green. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who inspects food businesses in Bromley Green?
That is Ashford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Bromley Green. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, photos, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you look at the system first?
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.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is not law; it’s BESA’s specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What is post-clean verification?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It works whoever carried out the clean.
When to call us in Bromley Green
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as William Harvey Hospital (about 4.1 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bromley Green
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
Why deal with it now?
If a kitchen in Bromley Green has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Somewhere as small as Bromley Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
