Kent · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 inspections in Eynsford
TR19 inspection across Eynsford and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
TR19 inspection in Eynsford
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. Testing is how you know where your system stands. If you are dealing with surveys needed before quoting a full clean and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, we can help.
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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Eynsford kitchens: local notes
Look up Eynsford on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Eynsford, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Fire safety in Eynsford falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Sevenoaks council inspect food businesses in Eynsford. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
School kitchens, at schools like The Anthony Roper Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hospital like Darenth Park Hospital, about 5.1 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Eynsford is about 5 miles east of Orpington, in Kent. We carry out TR19 inspection for commercial premises of every kind in Eynsford and the rest of Kent. Eynsford is one of 922 towns, villages and districts in Kent we cover for commercial clients. We also work in Maidstone, around 15 miles away.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Why act early in Eynsford
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, while there’s still time to put anything right. Planning a trip to Eynsford ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London

How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Eynsford, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Common problems we fix in Eynsford
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
For kitchens close to Eynsford station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
FAQs for Eynsford
Do you work in villages like Eynsford?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Eynsford is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work in Eynsford outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Eynsford needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Why survey before a clean?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and photos. We can work from photos and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
