TR19 Inspection in Feering
TR19 inspection in Feering from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Feering can be planned properly.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about parking and loading
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Feering
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you have systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and sections of duct that can’t be reached, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Feering starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something 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 can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- File every inspection report with your certificates
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Feering
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
If you cook for passing trade around Kelvedon station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
Questions to ask before booking
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- What insurance they carry
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Common questions in Feering
Can you come to Feering after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Feering out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Feering, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Feering?
There’s no set price, as it 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 any work starts.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What is post-clean verification?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?

TR19 inspection in Feering: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Feering, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Feering is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Feering are the job of Braintree council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Layer Marney Tower is about 3.8 miles south-east), access may need planning.
