TR19 inspection around Stuppington
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 50 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 16 hotels and B&Bs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Stuppington. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Stuppington is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Canterbury City council inspect food businesses in Stuppington. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Kent and Canterbury Hospital about 0.8 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Stuppington
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. Typical jobs include insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, on access surveys, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys.
In a small place like Stuppington, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What happens if it’s left?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in Stuppington a current picture. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Stuppington is calmer for everyone.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Stuppington
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Stuppington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How we price TR19 inspection
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
If you need TR19 inspection in Stuppington, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Somewhere as small as Stuppington, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
