TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Steventon End
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. If you have extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and sites with gaps in their extract records, we can help, from access surveys, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests onwards.
Work in a small place like Steventon End 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Steventon End
Can you work in Steventon End outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Steventon End doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can a school canteen extract in Steventon End be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Steventon End, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
How long does grease testing take?
As a guide, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What happens if it’s left?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Honest limits
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Steventon End
- Deposit thickness tests

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, out of sight of the kitchen.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays to avoid disruption.

Common problems we fix in Steventon End
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
What we are most often called out for:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Ashdon Primary School or anywhere near Steventon End, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Questions to ask before you book
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Proof of insurance
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep to the recommended interval
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
