About our TR19 inspection in Teasley Mead
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Teasley Mead and across Kent a clear record of the system’s condition. If you have surveys needed before quoting a full clean and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, we can help, from wet film thickness tests, access surveys and deposit thickness tests onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Teasley Mead, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Teasley Mead
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.

FAQs for Teasley Mead
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Teasley Mead?
The local authority for Teasley Mead is Wealden council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is Teasley Mead within the area you cover?
Yes. Teasley Mead is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. 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. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How we price TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Never cook with filters missing
- Book the next test on the date in the report
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
How it 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 around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. The timing of a visit to Teasley Mead is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Teasley Mead?
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Groombridge Place is about 2.4 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether VAT is included
- What paperwork you get at the end
