How we handle TR19 inspection in Moulsham
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Moulsham and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. Typical jobs include kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and missing access panels found on survey, across pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests.
In a smaller place like Moulsham, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Each 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.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Moulsham?
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Moulsham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before you book anyone
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What paperwork you get at the end
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- When the next visit should be, and why
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Why act early in Moulsham
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Why us?
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- We diagnose before we treat
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Kitchen extracts in Moulsham
Food Standards Agency records list about 206 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 71 sandwich bars and takeaways in Moulsham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Environmental health officers from Chelmsford council inspect food businesses in Moulsham. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Moulsham is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Our Lady Immaculate Catholic Primary School or anywhere near Moulsham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chelmsford and Essex Hospital (about 0.7 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Moulsham is about 1 mile south-west of Chelmsford, in Essex. Sites in Moulsham get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures. 644 places in Essex are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots.

What affects the quote in Moulsham
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
No two sites are the same, 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.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Common questions in Moulsham
Will you come out to Moulsham?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Moulsham is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Moulsham in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 35 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Moulsham, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, pictures and any inaccessible areas. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so you don’t have to close during trading.
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Around Moulsham, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system
