TR19 inspection in Tylerscross
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. If you have insurers asking for TR19 evidence and checking the result of a recent clean, we can help, from post-clean checks, access surveys and pre-clean surveys onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Tylerscross, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kitchen extracts in Tylerscross
Food Standards Agency records list about 19 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 11 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Tylerscross. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Food hygiene inspections in Tylerscross are the job of Epping Forest council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Tylerscross sits within the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Tylerscross is Princess Alexandra Hospital, about 1.9 miles north-east. For schools such as Water Lane Primary Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Tylerscross, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Tylerscross questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Tylerscross?
Fire safety enforcement in Tylerscross is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Tylerscross?
In Tylerscross, it’s Epping Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you cover Tylerscross?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Tylerscross included.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
How often should grease be tested?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Tylerscross can be planned properly.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
How we price TR19 inspection
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Readings show if the interval is right.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
What a clean will not put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
