For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
About our TR19 inspection in Walton-on-the-Naze
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Walton-on-the-Naze and don’t know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and confirming a clean reached the whole system.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Walton-on-the-Naze gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Walton-on-the-Naze?
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, so those sections can be skipped time and again. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so panels can be fitted.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Walton on the Naze Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- 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.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.

Can you get to a site in Walton-on-the-Naze?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Walton-on-the-Naze is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Walton-on-the-Naze in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Walton-on-the-Naze, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.

How much does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Why act early in Walton-on-the-Naze
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Walton-on-the-Naze at a time that suits you.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
