TR19 inspection across Nayland

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

About our TR19 inspection in Nayland

Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. If you have kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, we can help, from pre-clean surveys, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests onwards.

For a kitchen in or near Nayland, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Nayland

The fire and rescue service for Nayland is 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. Environmental health officers from Babergh council inspect food businesses in Nayland. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Term dates shape school work: for a school like Nayland Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St James or elsewhere in Nayland, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Nayland is about 6 miles north of Colchester, in Essex.

What happens if it’s left?

Sites in Nayland that have never measured grease cannot tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Somewhere as small as Nayland, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

The process

Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Nayland.

  1. After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
  2. We open the access points used on the clean.
  3. We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
  4. Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
  5. The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Ask for a quote

We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

When something else is needed

We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:

  • The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
  • Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
  • The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment

If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Deposit thickness tests
  • Insurer audits
  • Access surveys
  • Pre-clean surveys
  • Post-clean checks
  • Wet film thickness tests

Common problems we fix in Nayland

Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.

If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:

  • Parts of the system left out of past cleans
  • Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
  • Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
  • Missing TR19 certificates or history

A hospital like Severalls Hospital, about 3.9 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • Whether the figure could change on the day
  • What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
  • Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

Managing agents and facilities teams in Nayland

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

Part by part

Canopy and plenum

The canopy itself is checked inside and out, with readings where grease collects.

Extract fan and discharge

Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.

Common questions in Nayland

Which fire authority looks after Nayland?

Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Nayland. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.

Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Nayland?

The local authority for Nayland is Babergh council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.

What is TR19?

TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.

TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.

Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Nayland.

Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?

Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we will set the report out to match.
