Your questions about TR19 inspection in Foley Park
Can you come to Foley Park after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you get to a site in Foley Park?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. We can work from pictures and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
TR19 inspection in Foley Park, done properly
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. The work covers pre-clean surveys, access surveys and deposit thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are surveys needed before quoting a full clean and sections of duct that can’t be reached.
Around a smaller place like Foley Park, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.

Common problems we fix in Foley Park
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as KIMS hospital (about 1.1 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Foley Park
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Foley Park kitchens: local notes
Look up Foley Park on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 157 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 53 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Foley Park. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. The fire and rescue service for Foley Park is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Foley Park, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Maidstone council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Luke, or anywhere in Foley Park, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run a café or takeaway near Maidstone East station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

What staff can safely do
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, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Never cook with filters missing
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.

Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
