TR19 inspection in Tudeley, done properly
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. The work covers post-clean checks, access surveys and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements.
Somewhere as small as Tudeley, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How we price TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For TR19 inspection in Tudeley, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Tudeley
Do you work overnight in Tudeley?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Tudeley can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover smaller places like Tudeley?
Yes. Tudeley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Tudeley
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Tudeley. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Environmental health officers from Tunbridge Wells council inspect food businesses in Tudeley. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Tudeley is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Tudeley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tonbridge Cottage Hospital about 1.9 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Schools at Somerhill tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Landmarks near Tudeley

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Why deal with it now?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Planning a trip to Tudeley ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Tudeley.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Tudeley
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Part by part
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, and readings show whether that’s enough.
