How we handle TR19 inspection in Marley
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. We’re often asked to deal with checking the result of a recent clean and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, across deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys.
In a village or hamlet like Marley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Marley
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Marley kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Marley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. It’s Canterbury City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Marley. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Marley 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.
Where a hall near Church of St Giles, or anywhere in Marley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Kent and Canterbury Hospital is the nearest hospital to Marley, about 4.3 miles north-west. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Barham Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Marley is about 5 miles south-east of Canterbury, in Kent. Sites in Marley get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. Marley is one of 922 towns, villages and districts in Kent we cover for commercial clients. Maidstone is in our area too, about 27 miles from Marley.

Why it’s worth doing now in Marley
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, so the clean covers the whole system. Somewhere as small as Marley, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Marley can be planned properly.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. Readings and photos are taken in the plenum on every inspection.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
Questions from Marley
Can school kitchens in Marley be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Marley, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is Marley within the area you cover?
Yes. Marley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. It lets us plan the clean and give you a fixed quote.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Marley?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
