TR19 inspection in Cock Clarks
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Cock Clarks and across Essex a clear record of the system’s condition. Typical jobs include sites with gaps in their extract records and extracts that have never been grease tested, on access surveys, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys.
Somewhere as small as Cock Clarks, 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, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

When to call us in Cock Clarks
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Cock Clarks (Danbury Place is about 3.4 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.

- When the next visit should be, and why
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Cock Clarks questions
Can the work in Cock Clarks be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Cock Clarks can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which environmental health team covers Cock Clarks?
That’s Maldon council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Cock Clarks. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so following it is the sensible course.
Do you work in Cock Clarks?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Cock Clarks.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, by WFTT or DTT. Each reading is recorded in microns.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
