TR19 inspection in Paglesham Eastend, done properly
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. 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. The work covers deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits, and people most often call us about extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed.
Work in a small place like Paglesham Eastend starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Different parts, different methods
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Paglesham Eastend and across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Design faults in the extract system
- Mechanical faults in the extract
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Paglesham Eastend
Do you work at weekends in Paglesham Eastend?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Paglesham Eastend does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Paglesham Eastend?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Paglesham Eastend. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® isn’t law; it’s BESA’s specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How we price TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Paglesham Eastend can be planned properly.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

What happens if it’s left?
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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, and that is where we come in.
