About our TR19 inspection in Newingreen
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are missing TR19 certificates or history and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

TR19 inspection in Newingreen: the local picture
Newingreen is within about 3 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs and bars in and around Newingreen, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Newingreen, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Folkestone and Hythe council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
School kitchens, at schools like Lympne Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Pedlinge Chapel, or anywhere in Newingreen, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Newingreen is about 2 miles north-west of Hythe, in Kent. Whatever kind of site you run in Newingreen, TR19 inspection is something we can help with.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. In a small place like Newingreen, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- 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.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Questions from Newingreen
Which environmental health team covers Newingreen?
The local authority for Newingreen is Folkestone and Hythe council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Does the sea air around Newingreen make a difference to TR19 inspection?
It can, as Newingreen is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, with recommendations where something needs doing.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Newingreen?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Newingreen?
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal Victoria Hospital (about 5.9 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
Why it’s worth doing now in Newingreen
If a kitchen in Newingreen has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. Somewhere as small as Newingreen, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
