How we handle TR19 inspection in Chalksole Green
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you have sites with gaps in their extract records and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, we can help.
Work in a small place like Chalksole 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Chalksole Green kitchens: local notes
At about 3 miles from the coast, Chalksole Green is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Kitchens in Chalksole Green get their food hygiene inspections from Dover council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Chalksole Green. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Anthony the Martyr or anywhere around Chalksole Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Buckland Hospital about 3.4 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site, and we clear up before we go. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Chalksole Green.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Advice
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’ll tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
Managing agents and facilities teams in Chalksole Green
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
FAQs for Chalksole Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Chalksole Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Chalksole Green are carried out by Dover council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you come to Chalksole Green after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Chalksole Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What is post-clean verification?
Verification means repeat readings and photos once the clean is done. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Chalksole Green?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
Do you work in Chalksole Green?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Chalksole Green included.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Chalksole Green
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Chalksole Green shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
Historic houses near Chalksole Green, such as Acrise Place about 3.6 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
What your quote should include
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the price is fixed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep the route to access panels clear
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
