TR19 inspections and grease testing in St Margarets, Kent

Multi-site and managed buildings

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.

What staff can safely do

Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Grease, kitchens and St Margarets

Food Standards Agency records include about 4 pubs, bars and clubs in and around St Margarets, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in St Margarets falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Environmental health officers from Sevenoaks council inspect food businesses in St Margarets. 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.

If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Lullingstone Castle is about 4.5 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. A hospital like Darent Valley Hospital, about 1.7 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Margaret of Antioch, or anywhere in St Margarets, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
