TR19 Inspection in Eyhorne Street
TR19 inspections and grease testing for commercial sites in Eyhorne Street and across Kent. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, 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.
TR19 inspection in Eyhorne Street
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. The work covers insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system

Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Eyhorne Street is covered by 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 Eyhorne Street are the job of Maidstone council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints Church or anywhere around Eyhorne Street, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For schools such as Hollingbourne Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

FAQs for Eyhorne Street
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Eyhorne Street in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Eyhorne Street, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Which environmental health team covers Eyhorne Street?
Kitchens in Eyhorne Street are inspected by Maidstone council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What is grease thickness testing?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How often should grease be tested?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we will set the report out to match.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Eyhorne Street before we set off.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; 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.
Advice
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Eyhorne Street
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
A hospital like KIMS hospital, about 3.6 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed
- When the next visit should be, and why
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Proof of insurance
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Leave it or put it right?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. Somewhere as small as Eyhorne Street, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
