About our TR19 inspection in Orsett Heath
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. If you are dealing with extracts that have never been grease tested and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Orsett Heath starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

What a clean will not put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before booking.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: 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. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Orsett Heath run smoothly.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

Why it’s worth doing now in Orsett Heath
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. If the system at a site near Orsett Heath fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Kitchen extracts in Orsett Heath
The coast is only about 3 miles from Orsett Heath. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency records include about 8 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Orsett Heath. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Thurrock council inspect food businesses in Orsett Heath. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

Orsett Heath questions
Can school kitchens in Orsett Heath be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 20 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Orsett Heath. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Does the sea air around Orsett Heath make a difference to TR19 inspection?
It can, as Orsett Heath is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you work in Orsett Heath?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Orsett Heath.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll book around them.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Never cook with filters missing
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
