Essex · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Norton Mandeville TR19 inspection
Professional TR19 inspection in and around Norton Mandeville, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Norton Mandeville
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the clean can be planned properly. If you are dealing with kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, we can help, from insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks onwards.
Somewhere as small as Norton Mandeville, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

TR19 inspection around Norton Mandeville
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Norton Mandeville, up to about a mile and a half out. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. In Norton Mandeville, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Epping Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Norton Mandeville sits within the area of 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.

How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Somewhere like Norton Mandeville, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Norton Mandeville
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, well away from where anyone looks.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Common questions in Norton Mandeville
Can you come to Norton Mandeville after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Norton Mandeville needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Norton Mandeville?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Norton Mandeville. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How long does grease testing take?
An inspection takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Large or multiple systems take longer, and you can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us to book it in.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What do you need from me for a quote?
