Burn's Green questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Burn's Green?
Burn's Green is in the area of Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Burn's Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Burn's Green are carried out by East Hertfordshire council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so following it is the sensible course.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll book around them.
About our TR19 inspection in Burn's Green
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. If you are dealing with insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and missing access panels found on survey, we can put it right, from wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks onwards.
Somewhere as small as Burn'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, whatever the size of the place.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Burn's Green, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
TR19 inspection in Burn's Green: the local picture
Burn's Green, about 27 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Burn's Green 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.
Where a hall near Parish Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Burn's Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as Benington Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Aston Bury is about 2.1 miles west), access may need planning.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Burn's Green
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Design faults in the extract system

The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
