About our TR19 inspection in Bumble's Green
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you are dealing with kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, we can put it right, from access surveys, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys onwards.
Somewhere as small as Bumble'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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Common questions in Bumble's Green
Will you come out to Bumble's Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bumble's Green is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Bumble's Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Bumble's Green needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, pictures and any inaccessible areas. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Bumble's Green?
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, so those sections can be skipped time and again. An inspection of a system in Bumble's Green shows where access panels are missing, so panels can be fitted.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Bumble's Green is Princess Alexandra Hospital, about 3.7 miles north-east.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a survey comes first
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- When the next visit should be, and why
Why deal with it now?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. If the system at a site near Bumble's Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Why book with us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

How we price TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Design faults in the extract system
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work

Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
