How we handle TR19 inspection in Coursehorn
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. Typical jobs include checking the result of a recent clean and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, on pre-clean surveys, access surveys and post-clean checks.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What affects the quote in Coursehorn
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Common questions in Coursehorn
Do you work overnight in Coursehorn?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire authority looks after Coursehorn?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Coursehorn. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you cover Coursehorn?
Yes. We cover Coursehorn and across Kent, within our South East and London area. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, pictures and any inaccessible areas. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Coursehorn?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Book the next test on the date in the report
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
Why act early in Coursehorn
Do not wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. An inspection now gives a site in Coursehorn a current picture. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Coursehorn
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays to avoid disruption.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. The timing of a visit to Coursehorn is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

Other services in Coursehorn
TR19 inspection around Coursehorn
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 9 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Coursehorn. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Fire safety in Coursehorn falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Coursehorn are the job of Tunbridge Wells council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Benenden Hospital about 2.8 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Cranbrook School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Dunstan or elsewhere in Coursehorn, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
