TR19 Inspection in Corringham
Our technicians work in Corringham on TR19 inspections and grease testing. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures on every job.
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
TR19 inspection in Corringham
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Corringham and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. If you have insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, access surveys and wet film thickness tests onwards.
In a smaller place like Corringham, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
We’ve 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.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
What happens on the day
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Visits to a place like Corringham are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- 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.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What a clean won’t put right
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on in Corringham
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
Questions from Corringham
Do you work in villages like Corringham?
Yes. Corringham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Corringham?
Fire safety enforcement in Corringham is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
After a clean, we take new readings and pictures to show how the system was left. It works whoever carried out the clean.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
Why it’s worth doing now in Corringham
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, before the next clean is due. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Part by part
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. Readings and photos are taken in the plenum on every inspection.
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
Kitchen extracts in Corringham
At about 1 mile from the coast, Corringham is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s data shows about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Corringham. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Thurrock council inspect food businesses in Corringham. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hospital like Basildon University Hospital, about 2.5 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Ortu Corringham Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Corringham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
