TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Stowting Common
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Stowting Common and the rest of Kent. The work covers access surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests, and people most often call us about missing access panels found on survey and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean.
For a kitchen in or near Stowting Common, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to 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.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

Do you need TR19 inspection in Stowting Common?
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Stowting Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Common questions in Stowting Common
Do you work overnight in Stowting Common?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Stowting Common needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Stowting Common?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How often should grease be tested?
We suggest a next test date in every report, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Grease, kitchens and Stowting Common
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Stowting Common. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Stowting Common 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. In Stowting Common, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Folkestone and Hythe council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Stowting Common, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A hospital like William Harvey Hospital, about 5.1 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Somewhere like Stowting Common, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- 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.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Why act early in Stowting Common
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. In a small place like Stowting Common, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, well away from where anyone looks.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
