About our TR19 inspection in Bradwell Wick
Taking on a kitchen in Bradwell Wick with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. The work covers deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and confirming a clean reached the whole system.
For a kitchen in or near Bradwell Wick, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. Readings and photos are taken in the plenum as part of every survey.
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so we arrange access ahead of time.

What else we do in Bradwell Wick
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How we price TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.

FAQs for Bradwell Wick
Do you work in villages like Bradwell Wick?
Yes, Bradwell Wick is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Bradwell Wick?
Fire safety enforcement in Bradwell Wick is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so following it is the sensible course.
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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
How much time does an inspection need?
As a guide, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Why deal with it now?
If a kitchen in Bradwell Wick has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Bradwell Wick is calmer for everyone.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
