- Confirming a clean reached the whole system

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Newland Green
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you’re dealing with kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, we can help, from deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits onwards.
In a small place like Newland Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

TR19 inspection around Newland Green
We cover Newland Green, about 41 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Newland Green is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
School kitchens, at schools like Egerton Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Common questions in Newland Green
Who is the fire and rescue service for Newland Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Newland Green is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Newland Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Newland Green are carried out by Ashford council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes, and that’s how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, whether that is late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Why deal with it now?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you will not know without measuring. A fault that closes a site in a village like Newland Green affects everyone who depends on it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Why us?
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Full insurance on every job
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Newland Green
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 grease in the extract is part of that risk.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St James or elsewhere in Newland Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Keep the route to access panels clear
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Newland Green before we set off.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting 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.
