About our TR19 inspection in Potter's Forstal
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you have insurers asking for TR19 evidence and sites with gaps in their extract records, we can help, from access surveys, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.

Why deal with it now?

Questions from Potter's Forstal
Who inspects food businesses in Potter's Forstal?
Food hygiene inspections in Potter's Forstal are carried out by Ashford council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you work in villages like Potter's Forstal?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Potter's Forstal included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
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.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and that’s how we prefer to work. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
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 do not leave it behind.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Potter's Forstal.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

- A faulty or failing extract fan
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment

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, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
