Your questions about TR19 inspection in Charing Heath
Is Charing Heath within the area you cover?
Yes, Charing Heath is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you work in Charing Heath outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Charing Heath needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
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.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Charing Heath
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Charing Heath and don’t know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. The work covers access surveys, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests, and people most often call us about cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and surveys needed before quoting a full clean.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
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
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Charing Heath knowing what to expect.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
