In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
TR19 inspection in Greatstone-on-Sea
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you’re dealing with insurers asking for TR19 evidence and uncertainty over how often to clean, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

When to call us in Greatstone-on-Sea
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Greatstone Primary School or anywhere near Greatstone-on-Sea, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Comparing quotes
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What hours they’ll be on site
- If they look at the system before pricing
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. In a small place like Greatstone-on-Sea, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What affects the quote in Greatstone-on-Sea
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Greatstone-on-Sea questions
Will you come out to Greatstone-on-Sea?
Yes, Greatstone-on-Sea is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work in Greatstone-on-Sea outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Greatstone-on-Sea can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work with multi-site operators?

How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we’ll set the report out to match.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Why survey before a clean?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits

Grease, kitchens and Greatstone-on-Sea
The coast is only about 1 mile from Greatstone-on-Sea. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records list about 9 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 7 sandwich bars and takeaways across Greatstone-on-Sea and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. In Greatstone-on-Sea, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Folkestone and Hythe council. 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Peter's, or anywhere in Greatstone-on-Sea, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
