TR19 inspection in Tyler Hill, done properly
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. Typical jobs include ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and confirming a clean reached the whole system, across deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys.
Work in a small place like Tyler Hill starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Tyler Hill
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Diary the next grease test and clean
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
TR19 inspection in Tyler Hill: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 5 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Tyler Hill. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Tyler Hill is 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. It’s Canterbury City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Tyler Hill. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Blean Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Tyler Hill is Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr, about 2 miles south.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it 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 anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Tyler Hill.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- 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
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. Readings and pictures are taken in the plenum as part of every survey.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What we’re called out for in Tyler Hill
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Checking the result of a recent clean
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Cosmus and St Damian or elsewhere in Tyler Hill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
