About our TR19 inspection in Kit's Coty
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. The work covers wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit.
Work in a small place like Kit's Coty starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
What happens if it’s left?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. Somewhere as small as Kit's Coty, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Post-clean checks

Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as KIMS hospital (about 3.4 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

FAQs for Kit's Coty
Do you cover smaller places like Kit's Coty?
Yes, Kit's Coty is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which fire authority looks after Kit's Coty?
Fire safety enforcement in Kit's Coty is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Why survey before a clean?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. It lets us plan the clean and send you a fixed quote.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How long does grease testing take?
Typically, the inspection takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.

There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there.
