Essex · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 inspections and grease testing in Rush Green, Essex
Professional TR19 inspection in and around Rush Green, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. We record what can and can’t be reached.
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Rush Green
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. We are often asked to deal with surveys needed before quoting a full clean and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, across insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests.
For a smaller kitchen near Rush Green, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

FAQs for Rush Green
Is TR19 inspection any different in a coastal place like Rush Green?
It can, as Rush Green is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Which fire service covers Rush Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Rush Green is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Testing takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Sites with several canopies take longer, so call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will plan it.
Do you cover Rush Green?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Rush Green included.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. A site near Rush Green usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Grease, kitchens and Rush Green
At about 1 mile from the coast, Rush Green is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records list about 77 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 52 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Rush Green. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Kitchens in Rush Green get their food hygiene inspections from Tendring council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Historic houses near Rush Green, such as Thorpe Hall about 4.4 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Ravens Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Design faults in the extract system
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys

- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
What affects the quote in Rush Green
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
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 make a difference.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem 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 can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Rush Green
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St James or anywhere around Rush Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
