TR19 inspection in Hammill Park, done properly
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Hammill Park and the rest of Kent. The work covers insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and systems that need surveying before cleaning.
Work in a small place like Hammill Park starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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, next to our reports.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
What happens if it’s left?
Sites in Hammill Park that have never measured grease cannot tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Hammill Park rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Kitchen extracts in Hammill Park
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hammill Park. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Hammill Park get their food hygiene inspections from Dover council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Hammill Park is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 2.6 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. For schools such as Eastry Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Where a hall near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Hammill Park, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Design faults in the extract system
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests

How it works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. The timing of a visit to Hammill Park is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Get a fixed quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Common questions in Hammill Park
Which fire authority looks after Hammill Park?
Hammill Park is in the area of Kent 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.
Can you work in Hammill Park outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Hammill Park does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How long does grease testing take?
Testing takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Sites with several canopies take longer, so give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll plan it.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, along with any actions needed.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
Can you come out in an emergency?
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.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What else we do in Hammill Park
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
