Signs you need TR19 inspection in Folly Town
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; William Harvey Hospital is the nearest hospital to Folly Town, about 3.6 miles south-west.

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Folly Town
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. Testing is how you know where your system stands. The work covers access surveys, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are confirming a clean reached the whole system and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

FAQs for Folly Town
Which fire authority looks after Folly Town?
Fire safety enforcement in Folly Town is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Will you come out to Folly Town?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
When should we have our next grease test?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site does not lose a service.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

Why deal with it now?
Sites in Folly Town that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Folly Town.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Folly Town
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so we arrange access ahead of time.
