How we handle TR19 inspection in Oare
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. Typical jobs include surveys needed before quoting a full clean and uncertainty over how often to clean, on pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks.
Somewhere as small as Oare, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Oare
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Grease, kitchens and Oare
At about 2 miles from the coast, Oare is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. There are about 36 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 10 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Oare, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Oare. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Davington Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Oare, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Oare is about 1 mile north of Faversham, in Kent. Wherever you are in the ME13 postcode area, we cover TR19 inspection for commercial sites. Oare is one of 922 towns, villages and districts in Kent where we work for TR19 inspection. Maidstone is in our area too, around 16 miles away.
TR19 inspection in ME13 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. TR19 inspection is available to premises on The Street, Church Road and Russell Place and the roads around them. If your site is just outside Oare, we cover Davington (1 mile south), The Brents (1 mile south-east), Uplees (1 mile north-west), Faversham (1 mile south) and Four Oaks (1 mile south-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Ashford (13 miles south), Canterbury (9 miles east), Sittingbourne (6 miles west), Whitstable (7 miles east), Herne Bay (11 miles east) and Minster (7 miles north-west).
Near you in Oare
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Oare Meadow, Three Mariners Inn and Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School. Oare’s nearest station is Faversham station, roughly 1.4 miles south-east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Newnham Castle (4.5 miles south-west).
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something 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.
Staff cleaning doesn’t 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.
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 Oare a current picture. If the system at a site near Oare fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Oare: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Oare?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Oare. 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 Oare?
The local authority for Oare is Swale council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning right away.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
What we’re called out for in Oare
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, so those sections can be skipped time and again. An inspection of a system in Oare shows where access panels are missing, so panels can be fitted.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
Historic houses near Oare, such as Belmont House and Gardens about 4.3 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, well away from where anyone looks.
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, 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.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Oare can be planned properly.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
