The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels

Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The site address and the type of premises

- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

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, before any work starts.
TR19 inspection in High Beech
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. Typical jobs include kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and missing TR19 certificates or history, on insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests.
Work in a small place like High Beech starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
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’re fully insured.

TR19 inspection in High Beech: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 16 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around High Beech, 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. Environmental health officers from Epping Forest council inspect food businesses in High Beech. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. High Beech is covered by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like High Beech CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to High Beech is Claybury Hospital, about 4.4 miles south.

Do you need TR19 inspection in High Beech?
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in High Beech shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Missing access panels found on survey
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Holy Innocents Church or elsewhere in High Beech, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays to avoid disruption.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. In a small place like High Beech, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
High Beech questions
Do you work at weekends in High Beech?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in High Beech can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Is High Beech within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, High Beech included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so following it is the sensible course.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. 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 information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. Our report sets your readings against both.
What happens if it’s left?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. In a small place like High Beech, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
