TR19 inspection in Fairseat, done properly
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. If you are dealing with cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, 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. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, 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.

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.

Leave it or put it right?
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, while there’s still time to put anything right. In a small place like Fairseat, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Common questions in Fairseat
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Fairseat?
Kitchens in Fairseat are inspected by Tonbridge and Malling council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Fairseat out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Fairseat, the Food Standards Agency lists about 7 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems, and we clear up before we go. The timing of a visit to Fairseat is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
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 photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Related advice
When to call us in Fairseat
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so panels can be fitted.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
Historic houses near Fairseat, such as Old Soar Manor about 4.5 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether they recommend a next date
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Fairseat kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Fairseat. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Tonbridge and Malling council inspect food businesses in Fairseat. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Fairseat is 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Holy Innocents or elsewhere in Fairseat, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For schools such as Wrotham School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
