How we handle TR19 inspection in Crow Green
Before any clean in Crow Green, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. The work covers access surveys, insurer audits and post-clean checks, and people most often call us about checking the result of a recent clean and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings.
For a kitchen in or near Crow Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:

- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Design faults in the extract system

Managing agents and facilities teams in Crow Green
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

What affects the quote in Crow Green
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
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 play a part.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
FAQs for Crow Green
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Crow Green?
Crow Green is in the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work overnight in Crow Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Crow Green needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Why survey before a clean?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. We can work from pictures and details, or visit, as suits the job.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
An inspection takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Sites with several canopies take longer, and you can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form to book it in.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Crow Green?
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Crow Green (Ingatestone Hall is about 4.4 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
Questions to ask before booking

- What’s included in the scope, part by part
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
Kitchen extracts in Crow Green
The FSA’s data shows about 9 pubs, bars and clubs registered across Crow Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Crow Green sits within the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Crow Green get their food hygiene inspections from Brentwood council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Brentwood Community Hospital about 1.9 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Larchwood Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
