TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Weddington
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. If you have systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Weddington, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- A faulty or failing extract fan
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
How we price TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For TR19 inspection in Weddington, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
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 it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Somewhere as small as Weddington, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Kitchen extracts in Weddington
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Weddington. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Weddington are the job of Dover council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Weddington is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 3.9 miles south-west), access may need planning. For schools such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Weddington, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Weddington: your questions answered
Can a school canteen extract in Weddington be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Weddington. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is Weddington within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Weddington included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. We show your readings against those figures.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Weddington?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
A post-clean check records grease readings and pictures after the work, whoever did the clean.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- File every inspection report with your certificates
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
Leave it or put it right?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay 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 work begins, so there are no surprises.
