TR19 inspection in Peene, done properly
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. The work covers pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and access surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are sections of duct that can’t be reached and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen.
Work in a small place like Peene starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, 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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Kitchen extracts in Peene
Sea air reaches Peene, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. There are about 23 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 11 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Peene, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Environmental health officers from Folkestone and Hythe council inspect food businesses in Peene. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Cheriton Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Peene, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Peene is about 2 miles north-west of Folkestone, in Kent. Every kind of commercial site in Peene, TR19 inspection is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, Peene among them. You can also see our page for Maidstone, roughly 28 miles from Peene.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Why it’s worth doing now in Peene
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 Peene a current picture. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet

What the work covers
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. The timing of a visit to Peene is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. 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 photos.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Peene
Is TR19 inspection any different in a coastal place like Peene?
Yes, to a degree: at about 2 miles from the coast, Peene gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Do you cover smaller places like Peene?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Why survey before a clean?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and photos. We can work from pictures and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
What is grease thickness testing?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Peene?
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal Victoria Hospital (about 2.4 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What to look for in a quote
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How they set the interval to the next visit
