Signs you need TR19 inspection in Flowers Green
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Missing access panels found on survey
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether they recommend a next date
About our TR19 inspection in Flowers Green
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. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. Typical jobs include extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean, on deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests.
Somewhere as small as Flowers Green, 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 pictures follows every visit, 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.

Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on in Flowers Green
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
FAQs for Flowers Green
Which fire authority looks after Flowers Green?
That is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Will you come out to Flowers Green?
Yes. Flowers Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you look at the system first?
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.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area isn’t in use, whether that is late evening, overnight or a weekend.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How long does grease testing take?
Expect it to take a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.

How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Visits to a village like Flowers Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

What affects the quote in Flowers Green
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
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.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
