What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

TR19 inspection in Hunton, done properly
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. We’re often asked to deal with uncertainty over how often to clean and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, across pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests.
For a kitchen in or near Hunton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Hunton
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hunton Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before you book anyone
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether they recommend a next date
What happens if it’s left?
Don’t wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. Planning a trip to Hunton ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Hunton kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hunton. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Food hygiene inspections in Hunton are the job of Maidstone council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Hunton is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Hunton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Oakwood Hospital, about 3.7 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hunton
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Somewhere like Hunton, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for 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.

Common questions in Hunton
Can the work in Hunton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Hunton does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hunton?
That is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How often should grease be tested?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
Is Hunton in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Hunton included.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
