TR19 inspections and grease testing in Audley End, Essex

What staff can safely do

Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

TR19 inspection in Audley End: the local picture

Food Standards Agency records include about 15 pubs, bars and clubs in Audley End and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Audley End are the job of Uttlesford council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Audley End is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Audley End House is about 0.1 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. For schools such as Saffron Walden County High School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Church and community hall kitchens, near United Reformed Church or anywhere around Audley End, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
