How we handle TR19 inspection in Henley Street
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. Typical jobs include systems that need surveying before cleaning and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, on pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks.
Work in a small place like Henley Street 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Grease, kitchens and Henley Street
The Food Standards Agency lists about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Henley Street. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Henley Street. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Gravesham council inspect food businesses in Henley Street. 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.
For schools such as Cobham Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Where a hall near Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Henley Street, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Henley Street.

- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Book the next test on the date in the report
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Leave it or put it right?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you won’t know without measuring. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Henley Street is calmer for everyone.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

Do you need TR19 inspection in Henley Street?
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
If you cook for passing trade around Sole Street station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Henley Street and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Common questions in Henley Street
Can a school canteen extract in Henley Street be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Henley Street. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which fire authority looks after Henley Street?
Henley Street is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
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.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so following it is the sensible course.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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, which is where we come in.
