TR19 inspection in Ebbsfleet Valley
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. If you are dealing with extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, we can put it right, from access surveys, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks onwards.
Kitchens around a place like Ebbsfleet Valley are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. For a place like Ebbsfleet Valley, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Honest limits
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Design faults in the extract system
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Ebbsfleet Valley

Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Dartford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Ebbsfleet Valley. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
For schools such as Cherry Orchard Primary Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Ebbsfleet Valley
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
A kitchen near Ebbsfleet International station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Ebbsfleet Valley: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Ebbsfleet Valley?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Ebbsfleet Valley. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work at weekends in Ebbsfleet Valley?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Ebbsfleet Valley doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What is post-clean verification?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It works whoever carried out the clean.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
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 expects a risk-based approach.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
