What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Egerton Forstal knowing what to expect.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Advice
About our TR19 inspection in Egerton Forstal
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. Common call-outs are for extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and checking the result of a recent clean, across access surveys, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests.
Somewhere as small as Egerton Forstal, 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

When to call us in Egerton Forstal
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.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St James or elsewhere in Egerton Forstal, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What to look for in a quote
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What insurance they carry
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
FAQs for Egerton Forstal
Which environmental health team covers Egerton Forstal?
That’s Ashford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Egerton Forstal. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is Egerton Forstal within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Testing takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Large or multiple systems take longer, and you can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form to book it in.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, before anyone starts cleaning. Any access problems are flagged so they can be sorted first.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem 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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What a clean will not put right
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Egerton Forstal
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays to avoid disruption.
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. That’s why we test behind them.
