TR19 inspection in Stockland Green, done properly
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. Typical jobs include parts of the system left out of past cleans and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, on pre-clean surveys, access surveys and insurer audits.
In a small place like Stockland Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Stockland Green
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Stockland Green out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 15 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Stockland Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you cover smaller places like Stockland Green?
Yes. Stockland Green 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.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so following it is the sensible course.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.

Related advice
Do you need TR19 inspection in Stockland Green?
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Penshurst Place is about 2.5 miles north-west), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before you book
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- If they look at the system before pricing
