Woolbridge TR19 inspection
Our technicians work in Woolbridge on TR19 inspections and grease testing. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures on every job.
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Extracts that have never been grease tested

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. The timing of a visit to Woolbridge is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

TR19 inspection in Woolbridge
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. If you’re dealing with uncertainty over how often to clean and confirming a clean reached the whole system, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, insurer audits and access surveys onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Woolbridge, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Woolbridge?
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
School kitchens, at schools like Mayfield Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day

FAQs for Woolbridge
Will you come out to Woolbridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the work in Woolbridge be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Woolbridge can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, by WFTT or DTT. The results are given in microns.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
How much time does an inspection need?
It takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. The visit is timed so cooking is not disrupted.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

How we price TR19 inspection
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Want a quote for TR19 inspection? Please ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Leave it or put it right?
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, and the quote reflects the real job. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Why book with us
- Fully insured
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- One number for every site across the South East and London
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

We cover Woolbridge, about 36 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Fire safety in Woolbridge falls to East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
