What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Design faults in the extract system
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

TR19 inspection in Round Bush
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Round Bush and across Hertfordshire a clear record of the system’s condition. Typical jobs include sections of duct that can’t be reached and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean, across access surveys, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Round Bush: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Round Bush?
In Round Bush, it’s Hertsmere council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Will you come out to Round Bush?
Yes. Round Bush is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. For a village or hamlet like Round Bush, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
Grease, kitchens and Round Bush
Food Standards Agency records include about 8 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Round Bush, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. It’s Hertsmere council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Round Bush. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Round Bush. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Fair Field Junior School or anywhere near Round Bush, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (High Elms Manor is about 2.9 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Round Bush, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Round Bush is about 2 miles north of Bushey, in Hertfordshire.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Round Bush
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so it can be fixed before the clean.
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
What happens if it’s left?
Sites in Round Bush that have never measured grease cannot tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. Somewhere as small as Round Bush, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
