TR19 inspection in Good Easter
Taking on a kitchen in Good Easter with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. If you are dealing with insurers asking for TR19 evidence and parts of the system left out of past cleans, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
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.

Why deal with it now?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. A planned visit to Good Easter is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Can you work in Good Easter outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Good Easter can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.

How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
TR19 inspection in Good Easter: the local picture
Good Easter is covered by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Chelmsford council inspect food businesses in Good Easter. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Good Easter, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Readings show if the interval is right.
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters don’t mean a clean plenum. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Somewhere like Good Easter, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Related advice
What we’re called out for in Good Easter
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
A hospital like Broomfield Hospital, about 4.7 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
