Chillenden TR19 inspection
TR19 inspection for Chillenden, with a survey first and a report with photos at the end. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
About our TR19 inspection in Chillenden
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Chillenden and across Kent a clear record of the system’s condition. We are often asked to deal with kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, across post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits.
In a village or hamlet like Chillenden, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.
How we price TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Why deal with it now?
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. A fault that closes a site in a village like Chillenden affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too.

- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- 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

- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean

A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Chillenden. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

What else we do in Chillenden
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Chillenden
Do you work at weekends in Chillenden?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Chillenden needn’t be disturbed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Chillenden?
That’s Dover council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Chillenden. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, along with any actions needed.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Never cook with filters missing
- Keep to the recommended interval
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
