Your questions about TR19 inspection in Kings Hill
Will you come out to Kings Hill?
Yes, Kings Hill is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work overnight in Kings Hill?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Kings Hill can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
When should we have our next grease test?
We suggest a next test date in every report, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. The report flags anything missed.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
TR19 inspection in Kings Hill
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Kings Hill and the rest of Kent. The work covers deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and insurer audits, and people most often call us about uncertainty over how often to clean and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean.
Kitchens around a place like Kings Hill are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Common problems we fix in Kings Hill
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, so those sections can be skipped time and again. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so panels can be fitted.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Maidstone Hospital about 3.4 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kings Hill
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. Around Kings Hill, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Fully insured

Kings Hill kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 23 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 7 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Kings Hill. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Environmental health officers from Tonbridge and Malling council inspect food businesses in Kings Hill. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Kings Hill is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Old Soar Manor is about 3.7 miles west), access may need planning. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Kings Hill School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. In a smaller place like Kings Hill, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
