About our TR19 inspection in Hythe End
Before any clean in Hythe End, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. If you have surveys needed before quoting a full clean and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Hythe End 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.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Hythe End and turn up when the site is quiet.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Why act early in Hythe End
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, which you won’t know without measuring. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Why book with us
- Every job surveyed first
- We’re fully insured
- In business since 2009
- A fixed price before any work starts
Questions from Hythe End
Which fire authority looks after Hythe End?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hythe End. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you get to a site in Hythe End?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hythe End included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, TR19® is not legislation. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
How much time does an inspection need?
Testing takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Large or multiple systems take longer, so give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will plan it.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. We show your readings against those figures.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Hythe End?
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
Church and community hall kitchens, near St John's Church or anywhere around Hythe End, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.

Hythe End kitchens: local notes
There are about 57 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 16 takeaways and sandwich shops across Hythe End and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Hythe End. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
