TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Maylandsea
Taking on a kitchen in Maylandsea with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. If you have parts of the system left out of past cleans and extracts that have never been grease tested, we can put it right, from insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks onwards.
Work in a small place like Maylandsea 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, 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.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
TR19 inspection around Maylandsea
Maylandsea is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Maylandsea. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Environmental health officers from Maldon council inspect food businesses in Maylandsea. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
For kitchens in and around Maylandsea, the clean covers everything from the canopy to the discharge. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Maylandsea Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Common questions in Maylandsea
Do you work overnight in Maylandsea?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Maylandsea doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire service covers Maylandsea?
It’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Maylandsea. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Why survey before a clean?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, so the clean goes to plan. Any access problems are flagged so they can be sorted first.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Readings show if the interval is right.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
