Grease, kitchens and Lindsell
The fire and rescue service for Lindsell is 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. Lindsell, about 36 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Lindsell, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Putteridge High School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Lindsell is about 8 miles west of Braintree, in Essex. From the centre of Lindsell to the outskirts, TR19 inspection is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates.

About our TR19 inspection in Lindsell
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the clean can be planned properly. If you’re dealing with cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and systems that need surveying before cleaning, we can help.
Work in a small place like Lindsell starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price TR19 inspection
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Lindsell?
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
Horham Hall, about 3.6 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Lindsell; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Lindsell: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Lindsell?
It’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Lindsell. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work overnight in Lindsell?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Lindsell can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, pictures and any inaccessible areas. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
Is Lindsell in your area?
Yes. We work in Lindsell and across Essex, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lindsell
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. It’s simpler to plan the work at Lindsell now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters do not mean a clean plenum. That’s why we test behind them.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a small place like Lindsell, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
