TR19 inspection in Eythorne, done properly
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. If you have sites with gaps in their extract records and confirming a clean reached the whole system, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Eythorne, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Eythorne
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The number of sites or systems
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos 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. We normally come back within one working day.

When to call us in Eythorne
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
Historic houses near Eythorne, such as Goodnestone Park about 3.6 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
TR19 inspection around Eythorne
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Eythorne. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Eythorne is covered by 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 Dover council inspect food businesses in Eythorne. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Buckland Hospital about 4.7 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Eythorne Elvington Community Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. For a village or hamlet like Eythorne, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Common questions in Eythorne
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Eythorne?
Food hygiene inspections in Eythorne are carried out by Dover council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you cover smaller places like Eythorne?
Yes. Eythorne is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How long does grease testing take?
Testing takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Large or multiple systems take longer, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will plan it.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Verification means repeat readings and pictures once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.
What’s TR19?
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.
