TR19 inspection across Crowhurst Lane End

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

TR19 inspection in Crowhurst Lane End, done properly

If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Crowhurst Lane End and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. The work covers pre-clean surveys, access surveys and insurer audits, and people most often call us about extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and insurers asking for TR19 evidence.

Work in a small place like Crowhurst Lane End starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.

We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

When it’s something else

We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:

  • Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
  • The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
  • The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean

Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on in Crowhurst Lane End

  • Pre-clean surveys

What we are called out for in Crowhurst Lane End

Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.

These are the problems we see most often:

  • Sites with gaps in their extract records
  • Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
  • Checking the result of a recent clean
  • Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed

Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Crowhurst Lane End is Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Clinic, about 3.1 miles north.

What your quote should include

  • Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
  • What’s included in the scope, part by part
  • What paperwork you get at the end
  • How VAT is shown on the quote

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

What the work involves, part by part

Extract fan and discharge

We look at where the extract discharges outside, since grease reaches the very end of the system.

Schools, hospitals and care homes

Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.

What happens on the day

There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Crowhurst Lane End before we set off.

  1. We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
  2. Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
  3. We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
  4. Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
  5. You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Ask for a quote

The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

What affects the quote in Crowhurst Lane End

The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • The scale of the work
  • The condition of the system

We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.

Helping us quote

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:

  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • Any previous report or certificate
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
