TR19 inspection in Lower Green
Before any clean in Lower Green, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. We’re often asked to deal with missing TR19 certificates or history and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, across deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys.
Work in a small place like Lower Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
What happens if it’s left?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. With notice, the visit to Lower Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

- Every visit written up, with photos

- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day

Common questions in Lower Green
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Lower Green?
That’s 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.
Can you get to a site in Lower Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, TR19® is not legislation. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, with recommendations where something needs doing.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Lower Green kitchens: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Lower Green are the job of Uttlesford council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. We cover Lower Green, about 35 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Where a hall near Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Lower Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A TR19® clean in Lower Green does not stop at the filters: the plenum, ductwork, fan and discharge are cleaned too.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.

- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
