- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted

If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

About our TR19 inspection in Aythorpe Roding
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. If you are dealing with post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and parts of the system left out of past cleans, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 each one has its own record.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and photos. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Planning a trip to Aythorpe Roding ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will explain what it covers.

Aythorpe Roding kitchens: local notes
We cover Aythorpe Roding, about 27 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. It’s Uttlesford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Aythorpe Roding. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Barrington Hall is about 2.7 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Rodings Primary School or anywhere near Aythorpe Roding, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Aythorpe Roding is about 5 miles south-west of Great Dunmow, in Essex. Wherever you are in the CM6 postcode area, we can take on TR19 inspection. Across Essex, we cover 644 places, Aythorpe Roding among them. We also work in Chelmsford, around 10 miles away.
Here we cover the CM6 postcode area for TR19 inspection. That includes premises on Drury Lane and Dunmow Road and the roads around them. We also cover Hatfield Broad Oak (2 miles north-west), Hellman's Cross (2 miles north), Puttock's End (3 miles north), Hope End Green (3 miles north) and Ardley End (4 miles west). Further out, we also cover Chelmsford (10 miles south-east), Braintree (12 miles north-east), Harlow (8 miles west), Brentwood (13 miles south), Billericay (14 miles south-east) and Witham (14 miles east).
Near you in Aythorpe Roding

Do you need TR19 inspection in Aythorpe Roding?
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Aythorpe Roding, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get at the end
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the price is fixed
What happens on the day
We turn up 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 before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Somewhere as small as Aythorpe Roding, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
