Your questions about TR19 inspection in Nevendon
Who is the fire and rescue service for Nevendon?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Nevendon. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you cover smaller places like Nevendon?
Yes. Nevendon is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No, not in itself. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. The report flags anything missed.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
About our TR19 inspection in Nevendon
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Nevendon and don’t know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. If you have insurers asking for TR19 evidence and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, we can help, from pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Nevendon, 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Never cook with filters missing
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so we check there.
When something else is needed
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
How we price TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Nevendon?
When a site in Nevendon changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
School kitchens, at schools like Abacus Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Nevendon, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Nevendon kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Nevendon, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Nevendon get their food hygiene inspections from Basildon 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. The fire and rescue service for Nevendon is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Nevendon, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Basildon University Hospital about 4.1 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Why act early in Nevendon
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. In a place like Nevendon, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
