How we handle TR19 inspection in Daniel's Water
Taking on a kitchen in Daniel's Water with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks, and people most often call us about pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and sites with gaps in their extract records.
Work in a small place like Daniel's Water starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
How we price TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Daniel's Water run smoothly.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Leave it or put it right?
Sites in Daniel's Water that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. It’s simpler to plan the work at Daniel's Water now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Common questions in Daniel's Water
Can you get to a site in Daniel's Water?
Yes, Daniel's Water is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which environmental health team covers Daniel's Water?
Kitchens in Daniel's Water are inspected by Ashford council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so you do not have to close during trading.
How long does grease testing take?
Testing takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Sites with several canopies take longer, so call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll plan it.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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’s our job.
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.

- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
A hospital like William Harvey Hospital, about 4.9 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
