Murston TR19 inspection
For TR19 inspections, grease thickness testing, pre-clean surveys and post-clean verification in Murston, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence

Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
About our TR19 inspection in Murston
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. The work covers pre-clean surveys, access surveys and deposit thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Murston gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Murston
Which fire service covers Murston?
That is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you cover smaller places like Murston?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, whether that is late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What is post-clean verification?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. The report flags anything missed.
How long does grease testing take?
As a guide, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. System size and access decide the rest.

Grease, kitchens and Murston
Murston is within about 2 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 22 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Murston. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Swale council inspect food businesses in Murston. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Sunny Bank Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Murston, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Why deal with it now?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in Murston a current picture. A quieter site near Murston still needs its system looked after.
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 we start.

Take a look at how cleaning jobs are priced and our accreditations and certificates.
How we price TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The times the site is available
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Tell us when your site near Murston is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What we’re called out for in Murston
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
Commuter trade near Sittingbourne station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
Comparing quotes
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
