TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Sevenscore
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and grease readings are taken at set points. We are often asked to deal with post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, across insurer audits, access surveys and post-clean checks.
In a small place like Sevenscore, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Never cook with filters missing
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sevenscore
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. If the system at a site near Sevenscore fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Grease, kitchens and Sevenscore
Sevenscore lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency records include about 5 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Sevenscore. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Sevenscore, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Thanet council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hospital like Ramsgate General Hospital, about 2.8 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you cook for passing trade around Thanet Parkway station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Which council inspects kitchens in Sevenscore?

What is post-clean verification?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, out of sight of the kitchen.
