TR19 inspection in Conyer
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. The work covers pre-clean surveys, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits, and people most often call us about missing TR19 certificates or history and confirming a clean reached the whole system.
In a village or hamlet like Conyer, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems, and we clear up before we go. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Conyer before we set off.
- 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.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
Kitchen extracts in Conyer
The coast is only about 1 mile from Conyer. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Kitchens in Conyer get their food hygiene inspections from Swale council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Conyer is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Conyer?
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Conyer, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed

Common questions in Conyer
Can you get to a site in Conyer?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Conyer is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Conyer?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Conyer. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so you don’t have to close during trading.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, photos, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How often should grease be tested?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Mechanical faults in the extract
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Conyer
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
