TR19 Inspection in New Romney
Need TR19 inspection in New Romney? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and pictures.
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Because the survey comes first, a visit to New Romney can usually be finished without a second trip.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- 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
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Move anything stored near the system

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

About our TR19 inspection in New Romney
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. The work covers deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks, and the jobs we see most are sites with gaps in their extract records and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts.
Around a smaller place like New Romney, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Common questions in New Romney
Which fire authority looks after New Romney?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers New Romney. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who inspects food businesses in New Romney?
That is Folkestone and Hythe council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in New Romney. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, 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 photos are not enough, we’ll survey first.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
TR19 inspection in New Romney: the local picture
The coast is only about 2 miles from New Romney. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records include about 7 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of New Romney. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. New Romney is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in New Romney, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
New Romney is about 8 miles south-west of Hythe, in Kent. New Romney gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, New Romney among them. We also work in Maidstone, about 26 miles from New Romney.
All of TN28 is within our area for TR19 inspection, from busy streets to back roads. Local streets include High Street, Church Road and Station Road, all of which we cover for TR19 inspection. Main roads around New Romney include the A259 and B2071, so getting to you is simple for TR19 inspection.

Near you in New Romney

When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.

What else we do in New Romney
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
What we’re called out for in New Romney
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Nicholas Church of England Primary Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Before you book anyone
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Proof of insurance
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
How we price TR19 inspection
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
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 will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays so meals aren’t affected.
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. That’s why we test behind them.
