TR19 inspection in Great Mongeham
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. We’re often asked to deal with pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and checking the result of a recent clean, on deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys.
Somewhere as small as Great Mongeham, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

How it works
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 anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Great Mongeham run smoothly.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Great Mongeham questions
Can you get to a site in Great Mongeham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Great Mongeham?
That is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and photos. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, as suits the job.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
How long does grease testing take?
Testing takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Sites with several canopies take longer, and you can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to book it in.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Usually, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
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 on a regular cycle.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays to avoid disruption.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Great Mongeham
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. 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 site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Grease, kitchens and Great Mongeham
At about 3 miles from the coast, Great Mongeham is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The Food Standards Agency lists about 16 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Great Mongeham. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. It’s Dover council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Great Mongeham. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Great Mongeham (Walmer Castle is about 2 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hornbeam Primary School or anywhere near Great Mongeham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Martin or elsewhere in Great Mongeham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
