TR19 inspection in Cock Street
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. 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 kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and parts of the system left out of past cleans, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Cock Street, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What staff can safely do
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.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.

The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Cock Street.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear the space around the work

Why survey before a clean?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, before anyone starts cleaning. Any access problems are flagged ahead of the clean.

Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Cock Street
In Cock Street, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Babergh council. 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. About 53 miles out from central London, Cock Street is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Severalls Hospital (about 5.3 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near St Matthew's Church, or anywhere in Cock Street, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

When it’s something else

- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
