TR19 inspection in Rudley Green, done properly
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Rudley Green and don’t know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. The work covers access surveys, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and confirming a clean reached the whole system.
In a village or hamlet like Rudley Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How we price TR19 inspection
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
If you need TR19 inspection in Rudley Green, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
TR19 inspection in Rudley Green: the local picture
Sea air reaches Rudley Green, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses in and around Rudley Green, 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. In Rudley Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Maldon council. 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Purleigh Community Primary School or anywhere near Rudley Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Rudley Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Rudley Green is about 3 miles south-west of Maldon, in Essex.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
Common questions in Rudley Green
Does being near the coast affect TR19 inspection in Rudley Green?
It can. Being within about 3 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Rudley Green than inland. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Can you work in Rudley Green outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Rudley Green keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
What is post-clean verification?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. The report flags anything missed.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
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.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we will set the report out to match.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
