TR19 inspection near Felderland

What we do, step by step

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Felderland can be planned properly.

  1. We go through any past certificates and reports.
  2. We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
  3. Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
  4. We measure the grease and photograph each point.
  5. You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Getting a quote

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

TR19 inspection in Felderland

TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. We’re often asked to deal with sections of duct that can’t be reached and extracts that have never been grease tested, across insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests.

Somewhere as small as Felderland, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.

A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Leave it or put it right?

Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. In a place like Felderland, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What we are called out for in Felderland

Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.

Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
  • Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
  • Systems that need surveying before cleaning
  • Confirming a clean reached the whole system

Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or anywhere around Felderland, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • What’s included in the scope, part by part
  • If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
  • What hours they’ll be on site

Our hiring checklist

Multi-site and managed buildings

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Felderland kitchens: local notes

The coast is only about 3 miles from Felderland. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency records list about 15 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Felderland, up to about a mile and a half out. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. In Felderland, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Dover council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

Term dates shape school work: for a school like Sandwich Technology School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 4.7 miles west), access may need planning.

Felderland questions

Does coastal air change anything about TR19 inspection in Felderland?

It can, as Felderland is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.

Who inspects food businesses in Felderland?

The local authority for Felderland is Dover council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.

How much notice do you need?

It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.

What grease levels does TR19 allow?

Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.

Do you check other contractors’ cleans?

Verification means repeat readings and photos once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.

Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?

Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, with recommendations where something needs doing.

How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?

It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.

When it’s something else

Some problems need a different service or another trade:

  • The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
  • Mechanical faults in the extract
  • Removing the grease, which is a separate clean

If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Where we work

  • Post-clean checks
  • Insurer audits
  • Deposit thickness tests
  • Access surveys
  • Pre-clean surveys
  • Wet film thickness tests

What staff can safely do

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Part by part

Restaurants, pubs and hotels

Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so trading isn’t affected.

Schools, hospitals and care homes

Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
