TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Rawreth
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: 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. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. Common call-outs are for sites with gaps in their extract records and checking the result of a recent clean, on insurer audits, access surveys and wet film thickness tests.
Somewhere as small as Rawreth, 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, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Rawreth.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Rawreth
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

Common questions in Rawreth
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Rawreth in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Rawreth, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can the work in Rawreth be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Rawreth can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. It lets us plan the clean and send you a fixed quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Rawreth
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chartwell Private Hospital (about 5.1 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a survey comes first
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
Leave it or put it right?
Without readings, you are guessing when to clean. 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. A planned visit to Rawreth is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

How we price TR19 inspection
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
TR19 inspection in Rawreth: the local picture
Look up Rawreth on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 12 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Rawreth. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. The fire and rescue service for Rawreth is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Rochford council inspect food businesses in Rawreth. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Rawreth, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For schools such as Our Lady of Ransom Catholic Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
