Mundy Bois: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Mundy Bois?
In Mundy Bois, it’s Ashford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you work in Mundy Bois outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It works whoever carried out the clean.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
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.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
TR19 inspection in Mundy Bois
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. We’re often asked to deal with post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and parts of the system left out of past cleans, on insurer audits, access surveys and deposit thickness tests.
For a kitchen in or near Mundy Bois, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Mundy Bois
Without readings, you are 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. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Mundy Bois rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Why Mundy Bois businesses choose us
- We diagnose before we treat
- Full insurance on every job
- A written report with photos after every visit
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Book the next test on the date in the report
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Mundy Bois?
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St James, or anywhere in Mundy Bois, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays so meals aren’t affected.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
