Why it’s worth doing now in Pluckley
Don’t wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Why us?
- We diagnose before we treat
- Photo reports with every job
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Pluckley
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Pluckley and the rest of Kent. The work covers post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are checking the result of a recent clean and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning.
Work in a small place like Pluckley 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 every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Questions from Pluckley
Do you work overnight in Pluckley?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Pluckley needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Pluckley?
Food hygiene inspections in Pluckley are carried out by Ashford council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. It lets us plan the clean and send you a fixed quote.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is not law; it’s BESA’s specification. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Pluckley before we set off.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
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 get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
TR19 inspection in Pluckley: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Pluckley. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Pluckley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ashford council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Pluckley sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
School kitchens, at schools like Pluckley Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Pluckley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Pluckley (Godinton House is about 3.6 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.

Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
For TR19 inspection in Pluckley, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Pluckley and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
