About TR19 inspection in Thurrock
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. The work covers access surveys, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are sites with gaps in their extract records and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean.
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 the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.

TR19 inspection across Thurrock: local notes
Kitchens across Thurrock cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.
Across England, including Thurrock, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and each certificate and photo report is a record you can keep in your log book. Parts of Thurrock are on or near the coast, where salt air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings. Fans and cowls on sea-facing roofs are worth checking at every visit.
Stanford-le-Hope: A hospital like Basildon University Hospital, about 2.5 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Stanford-le-Hope, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What happens if it’s left?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
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.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Keep the route to access panels clear
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
Why it fails
When a site in Thurrock changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Checking the result of a recent clean
Common questions in Thurrock
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, with recommendations where something needs doing.
Do you work in Thurrock?
Yes. Thurrock is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so you don’t have to close during trading.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
