TR19 Inspection in Perry
TR19 inspection across Perry and nearby, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with photos.
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
TR19 inspection in Perry, done properly
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. If you are dealing with missing TR19 certificates or history and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Perry, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Common questions in Perry
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Perry?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Perry. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you get to a site in Perry?
Yes. Perry is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
We suggest a next test date in every report, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so you don’t have to close during trading.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.

What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. We record what can and can’t be reached.
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Perry can be planned properly.
- 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.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
What affects the quote in Perry
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

What TR19 inspection looks like in Perry
Kitchens in Perry get their food hygiene inspections from Dover council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. About 59 miles out from central London, Perry is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Martins Hospital about 5.6 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 3.1 miles south), access may need planning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Preston Primary School or anywhere near Perry, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
