TR19 inspections in Upper Hartfield
TR19 inspection for Upper Hartfield, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached

How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the TR19 inspection, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. In a small place like Upper Hartfield, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

TR19 inspection in Upper Hartfield, done properly
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the clean can be planned properly. Typical jobs include sections of duct that can’t be reached and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, on wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and post-clean checks.
Work in a small place like Upper Hartfield starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
If you need TR19 inspection in Upper Hartfield, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Leave it or put it right?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Upper Hartfield rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll talk you through it.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Upper Hartfield
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests

Grease, kitchens and Upper Hartfield
Kitchens in Upper Hartfield get their food hygiene inspections from Wealden council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Upper Hartfield, about 29 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Bassetts Manor is about 1.9 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near Holy Trinity Church or anywhere around Upper Hartfield, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Common problems we fix in Upper Hartfield
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
A hospital like Crowborough War Memorial Hospital, about 4.2 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
