TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Little Hadham
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and people most often call us about kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed.
For a kitchen in or near Little Hadham, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What happens if it’s left?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Little Hadham is calmer for everyone.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Grease, kitchens and Little Hadham
About 28 miles out from central London, Little Hadham is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. The fire and rescue service for Little Hadham is Hertfordshire 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Little Hadham Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of St Cecilia or elsewhere in Little Hadham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Little Hadham is about 3 miles west of Bishop's Stortford, in Hertfordshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Little Hadham or further out, TR19 inspection is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. 381 places in Hertfordshire are on our list, large and small. There’s also a page for Chelmsford, about 20 miles away.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Little Hadham knowing what to expect.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, 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 so you know the cost before any work starts.

Little Hadham questions
Can you work in Little Hadham outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Little Hadham keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Little Hadham in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Little Hadham. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do we have to follow TR19 by 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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Is Little Hadham in your area?
Yes. We work in Little Hadham and the rest of Hertfordshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
Common problems we fix in Little Hadham
You cannot judge grease thickness by eye. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Herts and Essex Hospital is the nearest hospital to Little Hadham, about 3.7 miles east.
What to look for in a quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed

Need a price for TR19 inspection? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site. We will talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
