TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Brent Pelham
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers access surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests, and people most often call us about uncertainty over how often to clean and sections of duct that can’t be reached.
Work in a small place like Brent Pelham starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why it’s worth doing now in Brent Pelham
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in Brent Pelham a current picture. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

What else we do in Brent Pelham
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Brent Pelham and across Hertfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Kitchen extracts in Brent Pelham
Brent Pelham sits within the area of Hertfordshire 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. It’s East Hertfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Brent Pelham. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Brent Pelham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. In a small place like Brent Pelham, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Brent Pelham
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
Whether the kitchen is in Brent Pelham itself or nearby, a TR19® clean covers the whole system, canopy to discharge.
Before booking anyone
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- When the next visit should be, and why
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Design faults in the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests

Brent Pelham questions
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Brent Pelham in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Brent Pelham, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
Will you come out to Brent Pelham?
Yes, Brent Pelham is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How often should grease be tested?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll plan the visit around them.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
