TR19 Inspection in Fuller Street
One call covers TR19 inspection in Fuller Street: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Somewhere as small as Fuller Street, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

TR19 inspection in Fuller Street
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: 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. Common call-outs are for heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, on deposit thickness tests, access surveys and post-clean checks.
In a village or hamlet like Fuller Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Questions from Fuller Street
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Fuller Street?
Food hygiene inspections in Fuller Street are carried out by Braintree council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Fuller Street?
Fire safety enforcement in Fuller Street is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, along with any actions needed.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Fuller Street
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Never cook with filters missing
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- File every inspection report with your certificates
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.

Why deal with it now?
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. In a place like Fuller Street, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
