TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Leaden Roding
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. If you have heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, we can help.
In a small place like Leaden Roding, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, 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.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Leaden Roding
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Part by part
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
What we’re called out for in Leaden Roding
When a site in Leaden Roding changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Leaden Roding, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What to look for in a quote
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether a survey comes first
- What paperwork you get at the end
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- What state the system is in
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

Why deal with it now?
Don’t wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. An inspection now gives a site in Leaden Roding a current picture. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What accreditations do you have?

What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Leaden Roding and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
