TR19 inspection in Old Romney, done properly
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. If you’re dealing with insurers asking for TR19 evidence and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, we can help.
Work in a small place like Old Romney starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Kitchen extracts in Old Romney
Kitchens in Old Romney get their food hygiene inspections from Folkestone and Hythe council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Old Romney falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Clement or anywhere around Old Romney, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What we are called out for in Old Romney
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
What we are most often called out for:
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Marsh Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Visits to a village like Old Romney are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Old Romney
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
