TR19 inspection in Edenbridge
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. The work covers access surveys, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are sites with gaps in their extract records and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean.
In a smaller place like Edenbridge, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Edenbridge questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Edenbridge?
Food hygiene inspections in Edenbridge are carried out by Sevenoaks council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire service covers Edenbridge?
Edenbridge is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How long does grease testing take?
It takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. The visit is timed so cooking is not disrupted.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
TR19 inspection around Edenbridge
Food Standards Agency data counts about 12 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 10 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Edenbridge. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Environmental health officers from Sevenoaks council inspect food businesses in Edenbridge. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Edenbridge. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For kitchens close to Edenbridge Town station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Edenbridge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

What TR19 inspection cannot fix
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Never cook with filters missing
- Keep to the recommended interval
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Edenbridge?
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Edenbridge Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
How the visit works
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 first, 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. Your opening hours decide when we come to Edenbridge, not ours.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
