TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Molash
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. Common call-outs are for kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and checking the result of a recent clean, on pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and access surveys.
Somewhere as small as Molash, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. 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.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Molash
Molash, about 47 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Environmental health officers from Ashford council inspect food businesses in Molash. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Molash (Belmont House and Gardens is about 3.8 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Molash, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. The timing of a visit to Molash is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

What affects the quote in Molash
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on in Molash
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep the route to access panels clear
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Molash
Do you work at weekends in Molash?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Molash needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire authority looks after Molash?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Molash. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results are given in microns.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
When should we have our next grease test?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Why deal with it now?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Molash is calmer for everyone.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
