TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Densole
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Densole 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. If you have sites with gaps in their extract records and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, we can help, from access surveys, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys onwards.
Somewhere as small as Densole, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What affects the quote in Densole
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What we do, step by step
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 before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Densole.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays to avoid disruption.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
When to call us in Densole
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Checking the result of a recent clean
Historic houses near Densole, such as Acrise Place about 1.2 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
Questions from Densole
Can you come to Densole after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Densole needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Densole?
Densole is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. System size and access decide the rest.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
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 pictures.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, photos and any inaccessible areas. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Densole kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Densole. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Densole sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Densole are the job of Folkestone and Hythe council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
School kitchens, at schools like Hawkinge Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Where a hall near St Luke's, or anywhere in Densole, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
