Hertfordshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 inspections and grease testing in Bury Green, Hertfordshire
TR19 inspection for Bury Green, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
Why deal with it now?
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, before the next clean is due. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Bury Green
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Bury Green and across Hertfordshire a clear record of the system’s condition. If you’re dealing with cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, access surveys and insurer audits onwards.
Somewhere as small as Bury Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We have been trading since 2009, and 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 else we do in Bury Green
Do you need TR19 inspection in Bury Green?
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Herts and Essex Hospital is the nearest hospital to Bury Green, about 2.9 miles east.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the quote shows VAT
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
What affects the quote in Bury Green
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

Bury Green: your questions answered
Can the work in Bury Green be done at night or at weekends?

Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Bury Green?
Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Bury Green. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
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.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Grease, kitchens and Bury Green
There are about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Bury Green, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Bury Green. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Bury Green are the job of East Hertfordshire council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Bury Green (Much Hadham Palace is about 1.5 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care. Where a hall near Parish Church of St Cecilia, or anywhere in Bury Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
