How we handle TR19 inspection in Bedlar's Green
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. Common call-outs are for ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, across post-clean checks, access surveys and insurer audits.
Somewhere as small as Bedlar's Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Bedlar's Green: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Bedlar's Green?
It’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Bedlar's Green. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Bedlar's Green during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Bedlar's Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, photos, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and photos. It works whoever carried out the clean.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

What else we do in Bedlar's Green
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. In a small place like Bedlar's Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Flag oily drips near the extract
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Grease, kitchens and Bedlar's Green
The FSA’s data shows about 4 hotels and guest houses registered across Bedlar's Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Uttlesford council inspect food businesses in Bedlar's Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Bedlar's Green falls to Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Historic houses near Bedlar's Green, such as Barrington Hall about 2.3 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Bedlar's Green?
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Look out for any of the following:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Birchwood High School or anywhere near Bedlar's Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
