Questions from Bushey Heath
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Bushey Heath in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 11 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bushey Heath. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Bushey Heath?
Yes, Bushey Heath is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, whoever did the clean.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is not law; it’s BESA’s specification. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. We can work from photos and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
About our TR19 inspection in Bushey Heath
Taking on a kitchen in Bushey Heath with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. Common call-outs are for checking the result of a recent clean and systems that need surveying before cleaning, across access surveys, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys.
Kitchens around a place like Bushey Heath are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Bushey Heath
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Visits to a place like Bushey Heath are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bushey Heath
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, so the clean covers the whole system. Even a site near Bushey Heath that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Every job surveyed first

Grease, kitchens and Bushey Heath
Food Standards Agency records list about 35 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 8 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Bushey Heath. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Bushey Heath is covered by 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. Kitchens in Bushey Heath get their food hygiene inspections from Hertsmere council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. 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 Peter or elsewhere in Bushey Heath, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Headstone Manor is about 2.8 miles south), access may need planning. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (about 1.6 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

How we price TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters do not mean a clean plenum. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so it can be fixed before the clean.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Bushey Heath and across Hertfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Keep to the recommended interval
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and photos. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
