TR19 inspection in Flemings
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. The work covers pre-clean surveys, deposit thickness tests and access surveys, and the jobs we see most are parts of the system left out of past cleans and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning.
Somewhere as small as Flemings, 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Multi-site and managed buildings
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. They’re included in the readings and pictures.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Kitchen extracts in Flemings
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses in and around Flemings, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Flemings get their food hygiene inspections from Dover council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Flemings falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Flemings, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 2.7 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Flemings: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in Flemings be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Flemings. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can the work in Flemings be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Flemings needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What is post-clean verification?
A post-clean check records grease readings and photos after the work, whoever did the clean.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
An inspection takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Large or multiple systems take longer, so call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll plan it.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do you cover Flemings?
Yes. Flemings is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Flemings knowing what to expect.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Diary the next grease test and clean
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
