About our TR19 inspection in Temple Dinsley
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Temple Dinsley and the rest of Hertfordshire. Typical jobs include missing TR19 certificates or history and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, on deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests.
Work in a small place like Temple Dinsley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Temple Dinsley run smoothly.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Readings show if the interval is right.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so it can be fixed before the clean.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

How we price TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
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, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Kitchen extracts in Temple Dinsley
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Temple Dinsley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Temple Dinsley are the job of North Hertfordshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Temple Dinsley. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Preston Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Lister Hospital is the nearest hospital to Temple Dinsley, about 2.9 miles north-east.
