About our TR19 inspection in Wilsley Pound
Taking on a kitchen in Wilsley Pound with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. If you’re dealing with confirming a clean reached the whole system and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Wilsley Pound, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Wilsley Pound
Can you work in Wilsley Pound outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Wilsley Pound needn’t be disturbed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is Wilsley Pound within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so it matters in practice.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Wilsley Pound
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Common problems we fix in Wilsley Pound
When a site in Wilsley Pound changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records do not always follow. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
Where a hall near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Wilsley Pound, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

TR19 inspection in Wilsley Pound: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 10 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 takeaways in and around Wilsley Pound, up to about a mile and a half out. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Wilsley Pound. 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. Environmental health officers from Tunbridge Wells council inspect food businesses in Wilsley Pound. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hospital like Benenden Hospital, about 3.4 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Cranbrook Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Somewhere as small as Wilsley Pound, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work
