TR19 inspection in Great Wymondley
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you have sites with gaps in their extract records and extracts that have never been grease tested, we can help, from access surveys, insurer audits and post-clean checks onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
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. Leave those to us.

It’s North Hertfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Great Wymondley.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Great Wymondley
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:

If you need TR19 inspection in Great Wymondley, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
Why deal with it now?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. 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. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Great Wymondley questions
Do you work overnight in Great Wymondley?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Great Wymondley can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire authority looks after Great Wymondley?
Fire safety enforcement in Great Wymondley is handled by Hertfordshire 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.

How much 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. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, along with any actions needed.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Visits to a village like Great Wymondley are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
