How we handle TR19 inspection in Bardfield End Green
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. Typical jobs include pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, across deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and access surveys.
For a kitchen in or near Bardfield End Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. For a village or hamlet like Bardfield End Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

Other services in Bardfield End Green
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Why deal with it now?
Do not wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. Planning a trip to Bardfield End Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

What’s TR19?

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site does not lose a service.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Grease, kitchens and Bardfield End Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bardfield End Green. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Bardfield End Green is Essex County 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. In Bardfield End Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Uttlesford council. 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Horham Hall is about 2.6 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Bardfield End Green?
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
School kitchens, at schools like Thaxted Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
