Keeping the system healthy

- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Diary the next grease test and clean

After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
TR19 inspection in Broadley Common
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. Common call-outs are for insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, across deposit thickness tests, access surveys and insurer audits.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with pictures follows every 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.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Broadley Common
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 7 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Broadley Common. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Broadley Common get their food hygiene inspections from Epping Forest council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Broadley Common is covered by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Broadley Common, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Broadley Common is Princess Alexandra Hospital, about 2.3 miles north-east. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Water Lane Primary Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. Readings and photos are taken in the plenum on every inspection.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Design faults in the extract system
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
FAQs for Broadley Common
Will you come out to Broadley Common?
Yes. Broadley Common is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you work in Broadley Common outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Broadley Common needn’t be disturbed. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Why survey before a clean?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. 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.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Somewhere like Broadley Common, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Broadley Common
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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.
