Essex · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 inspections in Pebmarsh
Our technicians work in Pebmarsh on TR19 inspections and grease testing. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
How we handle TR19 inspection in Pebmarsh
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the clean can be planned properly. The work covers wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests, and people most often call us about extracts that have never been grease tested and insurers asking for TR19 evidence.
Work in a small place like Pebmarsh starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 can quote for the whole system.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
How we price TR19 inspection
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Common questions in Pebmarsh
Do you work in villages like Pebmarsh?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Pebmarsh is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire authority looks after Pebmarsh?
It’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Pebmarsh. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Design faults in the extract system
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays so meals aren’t affected.
What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Pebmarsh and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
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, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
Grease, kitchens and Pebmarsh
Pebmarsh, about 47 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Environmental health officers from Braintree council inspect food businesses in Pebmarsh. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hospital like Halstead Hospital, about 2.9 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Hedingham Castle, about 4.4 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Pebmarsh; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Pebmarsh, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Pebmarsh is about 3 miles north-east of Halstead, in Essex. Pebmarsh gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Pebmarsh is one of 644 places in Essex where we work for TR19 inspection. We also work in Chelmsford, around 18 miles away.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep to the recommended interval
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
