TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Sinkhurst Green
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. The work covers insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and access surveys, and the jobs we see most are uncertainty over how often to clean and checking the result of a recent clean.
For a kitchen in or near Sinkhurst Green, 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.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens if it’s left?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in Sinkhurst Green a current picture. With notice, the visit to Sinkhurst Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Sinkhurst Green?
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Benenden Hospital about 4.6 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Sinkhurst Green kitchens: local notes
Sinkhurst Green is covered by 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. About 38 miles out from central London, Sinkhurst Green is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Sinkhurst Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How we price TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
If you need TR19 inspection in Sinkhurst Green, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Somewhere as small as Sinkhurst Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
We don’t 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, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so we check there.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays so meals aren’t affected.
