About our TR19 inspection in Standon Green End
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. If you are dealing with insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Standon Green End, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Standon Green End: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Standon Green End?
Food hygiene inspections in Standon Green End are carried out by East Hertfordshire council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire service covers Standon Green End?
It’s Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Standon Green End. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How often should grease be tested?
We suggest a next test date in every report, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Standon Green End before we set off.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote

Advice
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays to avoid disruption.
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Standon Green End
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
How we price TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
When to call us in Standon Green End
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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Much Hadham Palace is about 4.5 miles east), access may need planning.
