TR19 inspection in East End Green
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. Typical jobs include extracts that have never been grease tested and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, on access surveys, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests.
For a kitchen in or near East End Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When to call us in East End Green
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, which is why readings matter.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hertingfordbury Cowper Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What records you will receive afterwards
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Somewhere as small as East End Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Why it’s worth doing now in East End Green
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. In a small place like East End Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Flag oily drips near the extract
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
How we price TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
TR19 inspection in East End Green: the local picture
We cover East End Green, about 19 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Food hygiene inspections in East End Green are the job of East Hertfordshire council’s environmental health team. 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Hertford County Hospital (about 1.8 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hatfield House is about 4 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
