What TR19 inspection looks like in Micklefield Green
The FSA’s data shows about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered in Micklefield Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Micklefield Green are the job of Three Rivers council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Micklefield Green sits within the area of Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
For schools such as Sarratt Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Where a hall near Church of the Holy Cross, or anywhere in Micklefield Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Leavesden Hospital about 3.9 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

TR19 inspection in Micklefield Green
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and access surveys, and the jobs we see most are kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and checking the result of a recent clean.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Micklefield Green
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Why deal with it now?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Micklefield Green is calmer for everyone.
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 unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Common questions in Micklefield Green
Do you work at weekends in Micklefield Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Micklefield Green needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Can a school canteen extract in Micklefield Green be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Micklefield Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Do you cover Micklefield Green?
Yes. Micklefield Green is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
How often should grease be tested?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. Our report sets your readings against both.
How much 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 and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so following it is the sensible course.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, as grease can build up there too.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep the route to access panels clear
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Micklefield Green and across Hertfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Micklefield Green can be planned properly.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to 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
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
