Jaywick TR19 inspection
We cover Jaywick for TR19 inspections and grease testing. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Jaywick
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 confirming a clean reached the whole system and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, on wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and post-clean checks.
Kitchens around a place like Jaywick are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

The process
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. A site near Jaywick typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Why act early in Jaywick
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. Around Jaywick, a kitchen or building out of action is missed right away.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

Questions from Jaywick
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Jaywick in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 5 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Jaywick. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Who inspects food businesses in Jaywick?
That is Tendring council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Jaywick. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
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. We show your readings against those figures.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, TR19® isn’t legislation. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Why survey before a clean?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. It lets us plan the clean and send you a fixed quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

TR19 inspection around Jaywick
Sea air reaches Jaywick, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Jaywick and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Jaywick is covered by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For schools such as Sir Martin Frobisher Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
