About our TR19 inspection in Standen
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you are dealing with sites with gaps in their extract records and missing access panels found on survey, we can help, from pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and access surveys onwards.
Work in a small place like Standen 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. 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 plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Visits to a village like Standen are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection

- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted

Standen questions
Do you work in villages like Standen?
Yes. Standen is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in Standen?
The local authority for Standen is Ashford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Why survey before a clean?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. It lets us plan the clean and give you a fixed quote.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
TR19 inspection in Standen: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Standen. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Kitchens in Standen get their food hygiene inspections from Ashford council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Standen 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.
