TR19 inspection in Nether Street, done properly
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. The work covers pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks, and common reasons people get in touch are post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and sites with gaps in their extract records.
In a small place like Nether Street, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
Nether Street: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Nether Street?
In Nether Street, it’s East Hertfordshire 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.
Which fire service covers Nether Street?
Nether Street is in the area of Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, as suits the job.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Nether Street?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Nether Street?
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Much Hadham Palace is about 2.3 miles north), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Proof of insurance
- How they set the interval to the next visit
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- A faulty or failing extract fan
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Kitchen extracts in Nether Street
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Nether Street and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Nether Street. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from East Hertfordshire council inspect food businesses in Nether Street. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Nether Street, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How we price TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report.
