What happens if it’s left?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Tendring Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

TR19 inspection in Tendring Green, done properly
Before any clean in Tendring Green, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you’re dealing with confirming a clean reached the whole system and sites with gaps in their extract records, we can help, from insurer audits, access surveys and pre-clean surveys onwards.
Work in a small place like Tendring Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
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, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Heavy use under BESA guidance, 12 to 16 hours a day, means a clean at least every 3 months, with testing showing whether more is needed.
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
What affects the quote in Tendring Green
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
FAQs for Tendring Green
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Tendring Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Tendring Green is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you come to Tendring Green after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Tendring Green can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can one contract cover all our sites?

Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we will set the report out to match.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.

The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Tendring Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
