About our TR19 inspection in Row Green
Before any clean in Row Green, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you are dealing with extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and checking the result of a recent clean, we can put it right, from pre-clean surveys, access surveys and deposit thickness tests onwards.
Work in a small place like Row Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Common problems we fix in Row Green
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
Bursars and site managers at schools such as White Court School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the price is fixed

Why it’s worth doing now in Row Green
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Questions from Row Green
Can a school canteen extract in Row Green be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Row Green. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work in villages like Row Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Row Green included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Row Green?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, whether that is late evening, overnight or a weekend.
What affects the quote in Row Green
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
TR19 inspection around Row Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 11 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways across Row Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Kitchens in Row Green get their food hygiene inspections from Braintree council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Essex County Fire and Rescue Service covers Row Green. 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Church in Great Notley, or anywhere in Row Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like William Julien Courtauld Hospital about 1.4 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Somewhere like Row Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
