TR19 inspection in Stonebridge Green, done properly
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. The work covers wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests, and people most often call us about post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and surveys needed before quoting a full clean.
Somewhere as small as Stonebridge Green, 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Stonebridge Green: your questions answered
Is Stonebridge Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Stonebridge Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can school kitchens in Stonebridge Green be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Stonebridge Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, along with any actions needed.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Never cook with filters missing
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Keep the route to access panels clear
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and photos. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Stonebridge Green.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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.

What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Pre-clean surveys

Why act early in Stonebridge Green
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, before the next clean is due. In a small place like Stonebridge Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
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.

Stonebridge Green kitchens: local notes
Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Stonebridge Green. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Stonebridge Green get their food hygiene inspections from Ashford council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St James or elsewhere in Stonebridge Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Egerton Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Stonebridge Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Godinton House, about 5 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Stonebridge Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
