Essex · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Monkey Street TR19 inspection
Professional TR19 inspection in and around Monkey Street, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
How we handle TR19 inspection in Monkey Street
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. If you’re dealing with kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and sections of duct that can’t be reached, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Monkey Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Monkey Street
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Monkey Street, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the price is fixed

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Monkey Street knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Monkey Street: your questions answered
Can the work in Monkey Street be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Monkey Street keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Monkey Street?
In Monkey Street, it’s Tendring council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
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. We show your readings against those figures.
Do you cover Monkey Street?
Yes. We work in Monkey Street and the rest of Essex, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What is post-clean verification?
Verification means repeat readings and pictures once the clean is done. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Don’t wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- A fixed price before any work starts
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- A written report with photos after every visit

For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Monkey Street kitchens: local notes
Fire safety in Monkey Street falls to Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Monkey Street, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tendring council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
In and around Monkey Street, every reachable section of the extract is cleaned, and anything we can’t reach goes on the report.

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

- Insurer audits

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
