TR19 inspections and grease testing in Tye Green, Essex
We cover Tye Green for TR19 inspection. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

TR19 inspection in Tye Green, done properly
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Tye Green and across Essex a clear record of the system’s condition. The work covers access surveys, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and surveys needed before quoting a full clean.
In a village or hamlet like Tye Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What a clean won’t put right
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Design faults in the extract system
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment

Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Tye Green?
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
School kitchens, at schools like Wimbish Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Tye Green can be planned properly.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

FAQs for Tye Green
Can you come to Tye Green after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Tye Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Tye Green?
That’s Uttlesford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Tye Green. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work in Tye Green?
Yes. Our technicians work in Tye Green, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What is post-clean verification?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, with recommendations where something needs doing.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
