TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Steven's Crouch
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the clean can be planned properly. Typical jobs include an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and missing access panels found on survey, on post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests.
In a village or hamlet like Steven's Crouch, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Steven's Crouch
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so panels can be fitted.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Bexhill Hospital (about 4.4 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, out of sight of the kitchen.
Leave it or put it right?
Sites in Steven's Crouch that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. A planned visit to Steven's Crouch is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. The timing of a visit to Steven's Crouch is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
