TR19 inspection in Bedwell, done properly
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. We are often asked to deal with extracts that have never been grease tested and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, on access surveys, insurer audits and post-clean checks.
Kitchens around a place like Bedwell are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

TR19 inspection around Bedwell
The Food Standards Agency lists about 32 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bedwell. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Bedwell are the job of Stevenage council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Bedwell sits within the area of Hertfordshire 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Broom Barns Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Where a hall near Parish Church of St Andrew and St George, or anywhere in Bedwell, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run a café or takeaway near Stevenage station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

The process
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Bedwell.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Bedwell
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Bedwell?
Bedwell is in the area of Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Which council inspects kitchens in Bedwell?
That is Stevenage council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Bedwell. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
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, along with any actions needed.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Design faults in the extract system
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
