TR19 inspections in Stone Corner

Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so it can be fixed before the clean.
TR19 inspection in Stone Corner, done properly
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. The work covers insurer audits, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys, and people most often call us about insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and extracts that have never been grease tested.
In a village or hamlet like Stone Corner, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Stone Corner and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
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.
Stone Corner kitchens: local notes
Stone Corner sits within the area of 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. It’s Ashford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stone Corner. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Whether the kitchen is in Stone Corner itself or nearby, a TR19® clean covers the whole system, canopy to discharge. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Smallhythe Place is about 1.4 miles north-west), access may need planning.
Stone Corner is about 10 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. We provide TR19 inspection for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Stone Corner and the rest of Kent. Our area takes in 922 places across Kent, large and small. There’s also a page for Maidstone, roughly 19 miles from Stone Corner.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems, and we clear up before we go. In a small place like Stone Corner, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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 pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Advice
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Stone Corner
Can you come to Stone Corner after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Stone Corner keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who inspects food businesses in Stone Corner?
The local authority for Stone Corner is Ashford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
Why survey before a clean?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, before anyone starts cleaning. Any access problems are flagged ahead of the clean.
Do we have to follow TR19 by 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 it matters in practice.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
Why act early in Stone Corner
Without readings, you are guessing when to clean. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
