Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
About our TR19 inspection in Sibley's Green
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers insurer audits, access surveys and post-clean checks, and the jobs we see most are post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and missing TR19 certificates or history.
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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Questions from Sibley's Green
Do you cover smaller places like Sibley's Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Sibley's Green during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Sibley's Green. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Sibley's Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Sibley's Green. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. In Sibley's Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Uttlesford council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Sibley's Green sits within the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Putteridge High School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Horham Hall is about 1.9 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, well away from where anyone looks.
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. That’s why we test behind them.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Visits to a village like Sibley's Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Get a fixed quote
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. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Multi-site and managed buildings
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 send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
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, and that is where we come in.
