Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Loves Green
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. If you have kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, we can put it right.
In a small place like Loves Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Loves Green.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote

Questions from Loves Green
Can you work in Loves Green outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Loves Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Loves Green?
That is Chelmsford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Loves Green. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
When should we have our next grease test?
We suggest a next test date in every report, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
A post-clean check records grease readings and photos after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the route to access panels clear
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays so meals aren’t affected.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Loves Green
Loves Green is covered by 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. Loves Green, about 25 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Where a hall near St Paul's Church, or anywhere in Loves Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hylands is about 2.8 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Loves Green is about 5 miles west of Chelmsford, in Essex. Sites in Loves Green get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Our area takes in 644 places across Essex, large and small.
We cover every part of CM1 for TR19 inspection and the roads nearby. That includes premises on Highwood Road, Pool's Lane and Sparrows Close and the roads around them. We also cover the places around Loves Green: Edney Common (1 mile east), Radley Green (1 mile north-west), Newney Green (2 miles north-east), Norton Heath (3 miles west) and Roxwell (3 miles north).

What’s near Loves Green
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Green Man Public House and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Ingatestone station, about 3 miles south of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Chelmsford and Essex Hospital (3.8 miles east) and Willingale Doe (3.6 miles north-west).
Do you need TR19 inspection in Loves Green?
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, so those sections can be skipped time and again. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so panels can be fitted.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chelmsford and Essex Hospital (about 3.8 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What happens if it’s left?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. With notice, the visit to Loves Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
