TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Cutlers Green
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you’re dealing with kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Cutlers Green, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

TR19 inspection in Cutlers Green: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Cutlers Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. It’s Uttlesford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Cutlers Green. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Cutlers Green sits within the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Saffron Walden Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Cutlers Green, about 5.6 miles north-west. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Cutlers Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Cutlers Green questions
Can you get to a site in Cutlers Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Cutlers Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Cutlers Green is handled by 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.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning right away.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, as suits the job.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, photos and any inaccessible areas. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Cutlers Green run smoothly.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Related advice
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters don’t mean a clean plenum. That is why we test behind them.
How we price TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Cutlers Green
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
For schools such as Thaxted Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

- Whether a survey comes first
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
