TR19 inspection in Fyfield
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. If you have parts of the system left out of past cleans and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, we can help, from deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and post-clean checks onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Fyfield
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service covers Fyfield. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Fyfield is about 23 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Fyfield, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as The Ongar Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
FAQs for Fyfield
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Fyfield?
Fyfield is in the area of 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.
Who inspects food businesses in Fyfield?
Kitchens in Fyfield are inspected by Epping Forest council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you cover Fyfield?
Yes. We work in Fyfield and the rest of Essex, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so it matters in practice.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
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 work begins.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Fyfield
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Why deal with it now?
Without readings, you are guessing when to clean. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. In a place like Fyfield, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters do not mean a clean plenum. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays to avoid disruption.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system, and we clear up before we go. For a village or hamlet like Fyfield, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Fyfield
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
