What happens if it’s left?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will talk you through it.

About our TR19 inspection in Edney Common
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. The work covers wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts.
For a kitchen in or near Edney Common, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Kitchen extracts in Edney Common
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Edney Common, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. In Edney Common, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chelmsford council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Edney Common is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Highwood Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Chelmsford and Essex Hospital about 2.9 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hylands is about 2 miles east), access may need planning.
Edney Common is about 4 miles west of Chelmsford, in Essex. We carry out TR19 inspection for commercial premises of every kind in Edney Common and the rest of Essex. Edney Common is one of 644 places in Essex where we work for commercial clients.

The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Edney Common run smoothly.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Managing agents and facilities teams in Edney Common
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Design faults in the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
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.
Questions from Edney Common
Do you cover smaller places like Edney Common?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Edney Common is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come to Edney Common after we close?

What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Why survey before a clean?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Any access problems are flagged ahead of the clean.
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
