How we handle TR19 inspection in Stede Quarter
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers pre-clean surveys, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements.
Somewhere as small as Stede Quarter, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, 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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Stede Quarter is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

FAQs for Stede Quarter
Can you get to a site in Stede Quarter?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stede Quarter?
In Stede Quarter, it’s Ashford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll plan the visit around them.
What is post-clean verification?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and photos. It works whoever carried out the clean.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Stede Quarter.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. We take readings there and photograph it as part of every survey.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
