Your questions about TR19 inspection in Roundbush Green
Do you work at weekends in Roundbush Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Roundbush Green keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire authority looks after Roundbush Green?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Roundbush Green. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
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.
Why survey before a clean?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, as suits the job.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
A post-clean check records grease readings and photos after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
TR19 inspection in Roundbush Green, done properly
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. Typical jobs include kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and missing access panels found on survey, across pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and access surveys.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Roundbush Green.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

What else we do in Roundbush Green
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Why deal with it now?
Don’t wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. An inspection now gives a site in Roundbush Green a current picture. Somewhere as small as Roundbush Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- A written report with photos after every visit
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
Read our cost guide or how to check a contractor.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.

TR19 inspection around Roundbush Green
Roundbush Green is about 28 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Environmental health officers from Uttlesford council inspect food businesses in Roundbush Green. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
School kitchens, at schools like Rodings Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Barrington Hall is about 3.1 miles north-west), access may need planning.

What we’re called out for in Roundbush Green
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
Where a hall near Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Roundbush Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What to look for in a quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
