What affects the quote in Pegwell
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
TR19 inspection in Pegwell
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. If you’re dealing with missing access panels found on survey and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Pegwell, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Pegwell kitchens: local notes
At about 1 mile from the coast, Pegwell is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency records include about 41 pubs, bars and clubs and about 7 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Pegwell. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Pegwell 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.
Quex Park, about 4.2 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Pegwell; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Chilton Primary School or anywhere near Pegwell, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Ramsgate General Hospital about 0.8 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Pegwell is about 1 mile south-west of St Lawrence, in Kent. Wherever you are in the CT11 postcode area, we cover TR19 inspection for commercial sites. Pegwell is one of 922 towns, villages and districts in Kent where we work for TR19 inspection. There’s also a page for Maidstone, roughly 38 miles from Pegwell.

What else we do in Pegwell
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. We test at points along the run through access panels.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Pegwell and turn up when the site is quiet.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Pegwell: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Pegwell?
Yes, Pegwell is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Does coastal air change anything about TR19 inspection in Pegwell?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Pegwell gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
What is post-clean verification?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and photos. It works whoever carried out the clean.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
