About our TR19 inspection in Little Warley

Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. Typical jobs include ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and sections of duct that can’t be reached, across deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits.

For a kitchen in or near Little Warley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Little Warley

Who inspects food businesses in Little Warley?

In Little Warley, it’s Brentwood council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.

Who is the fire and rescue service for Little Warley?

Fire safety enforcement in Little Warley is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.

What does TR19 inspection cost?

It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.

What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?

The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. Readings are taken at set points through the system.

Do you cover Little Warley?

Yes. Our technicians work in Little Warley, as part of our area across London and the South East.

What does a pre-clean survey involve?

We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, whichever suits the system.

What happens to the waste?

We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.

What the work involves, 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.

Horizontal duct runs

Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, out of sight of the kitchen.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

The process

Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Little Warley knowing what to expect.

  1. We go through any past certificates and reports.
  2. The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
  3. Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
  4. Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
  5. We report back with readings and a fixed quote.

Before we arrive

  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

How to get a quote

Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Advice

Honest limits

TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:

  • Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
  • Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
  • The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment

If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.

What the work covers

  • Post-clean checks
  • Wet film thickness tests
  • Deposit thickness tests
  • Insurer audits
  • Pre-clean surveys
  • Access surveys

Multi-site and managed buildings

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

Kitchen extracts in Little Warley

Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Little Warley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Food hygiene inspections in Little Warley are the job of Brentwood council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Little Warley 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.

Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Little Warley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
