TR19 inspection in Radley Green, done properly
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. If you have systems that need surveying before cleaning and confirming a clean reached the whole system, we can put it right, from deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why it’s worth doing now in Radley Green
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Radley Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Radley Green questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Radley Green?
Radley Green is in the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can the work in Radley Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Radley Green can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, pictures and any inaccessible areas. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How long does grease testing take?
As a guide, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. System size and access decide the rest.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
