TR19 inspections and grease testing in Brookland, Kent
Professional TR19 inspection in and around Brookland, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
About our TR19 inspection in Brookland
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’re dealing with kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and missing access panels found on survey, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Brookland, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

How it works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Somewhere as small as Brookland, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
TR19 inspection around Brookland
Food hygiene inspections in Brookland are the job of Folkestone and Hythe council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Brookland is about 53 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Augustine's Church or anywhere around Brookland, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For schools such as Brookland Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

When it’s something else

- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean

Brookland: your questions answered
Is Brookland within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Brookland is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to Brookland after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Brookland needn’t be disturbed. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What happens if it’s left?
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Brookland is calmer for everyone.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
