How we handle TR19 inspection in Paslow Wood Common
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. If you have pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, we can help, from pre-clean surveys, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Paslow Wood Common, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

When to call us in Paslow Wood Common
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Paslow Wood Common is Brentwood Community Hospital, about 4.9 miles south.

Paslow Wood Common questions
Do you work in villages like Paslow Wood Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work at weekends in Paslow Wood Common?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Paslow Wood Common needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
How long does grease testing take?
Typically, the inspection takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so following it is the sensible course.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, photos, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
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.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Paslow Wood Common
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. 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.

Grease, kitchens and Paslow Wood Common
There are about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Paslow Wood Common, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Paslow Wood Common sits within the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Paslow Wood Common, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Brentwood council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Historic houses near Paslow Wood Common, such as Ingatestone Hall about 4.6 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Blackmore Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Diary the next grease test and clean
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
