TR19 inspection in North Fambridge, done properly
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. The work covers wet film thickness tests, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks, and people most often call us about pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and confirming a clean reached the whole system.
For a kitchen in or near North Fambridge, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
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.

How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Somewhere as small as North Fambridge, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
FAQs for North Fambridge
Will you come out to North Fambridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to North Fambridge after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in North Fambridge keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
What happens if it’s left?
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near North Fambridge rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay 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.

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so trading isn’t affected.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Grease, kitchens and North Fambridge
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service covers North Fambridge. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. About 35 miles out from central London, North Fambridge is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in North Fambridge, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A kitchen near North Fambridge station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
