Eridge Green questions

The local authority for Eridge Green is Wealden council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.

About our TR19 inspection in Eridge Green
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. Typical jobs include surveys needed before quoting a full clean and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, across insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests.
In a small place like Eridge Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Diary the next grease test and clean
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
How we price TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a village like Eridge Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What we are called out for in Eridge Green
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.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tunbridge Wells Homeopathic Hospital about 2.8 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate

What TR19 inspection looks like in Eridge Green
Kitchens in Eridge Green get their food hygiene inspections from Wealden council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Eridge Green is about 31 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Eridge Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Historic houses near Eridge Green, such as Groombridge Place about 1.9 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
