How we handle TR19 inspection in Crockhurst Street
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you have systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and missing TR19 certificates or history, we can help, from insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Crockhurst Street, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Common problems we fix in Crockhurst Street
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
For schools such as Capel Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, well away from where anyone looks.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
TR19 inspection around Crockhurst Street
At about 29 miles from central London, Crockhurst Street sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Crockhurst Street. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Crockhurst Street, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tonbridge Cottage Hospital about 2.2 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Crockhurst Street questions
Can a school canteen extract in Crockhurst Street be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Crockhurst Street, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
Which environmental health team covers Crockhurst Street?
Food hygiene inspections in Crockhurst Street are carried out by Tunbridge Wells council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
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.
Do you work in Crockhurst Street?
Yes. Crockhurst Street is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
When should we have our next grease test?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Somewhere as small as Crockhurst Street, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Advice
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Flag oily drips near the extract
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
