TR19 inspection in Woolpack Corner
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Woolpack Corner and across Kent a clear record of the system’s condition. If you have systems that need surveying before cleaning and sections of duct that can’t be reached, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Woolpack Corner starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Sections without access are recorded so panels can be added.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Woolpack Corner
Look up Woolpack Corner on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 7 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Woolpack Corner and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Woolpack Corner sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Ashford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Woolpack Corner. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Parish Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Woolpack Corner, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For schools such as John Mayne Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Woolpack Corner questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Woolpack Corner?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Woolpack Corner. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work at weekends in Woolpack Corner?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Woolpack Corner can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. System size and access decide the rest.
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Woolpack Corner and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Somewhere as small as Woolpack Corner, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Woolpack Corner
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Woolpack Corner?
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Benenden Hospital about 1.9 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote shows VAT
