When something else is needed

Some problems need a different service or another trade:

  • Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
  • The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
  • Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172

What TR19 inspection looks like in Amersham on the Hill

The Food Standards Agency lists about 13 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses across Amersham on the Hill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Amersham on the Hill. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Amersham on the Hill falls to Buckinghamshire 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.

If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Dr Challoner's Grammar School or anywhere near Amersham on the Hill, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Amersham on the Hill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:

  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • The scale of the work

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

What we need to know

What to send for a quote:

  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Amersham on the Hill.

  1. We go through any past certificates and reports.
  2. The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
  3. We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
  4. We measure the grease and photograph each point.
  5. You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Ask for a quote

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Common problems we fix in Amersham on the Hill

Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, which is why readings matter.

What we are most often called out for:

  • Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
  • Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
  • Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
  • Confirming a clean reached the whole system

Commuter trade near Amersham station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • What paperwork you get at the end
  • Proof of accreditation you can verify

Our hiring checklist

Multi-site and managed buildings

For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

Amersham on the Hill questions

Which fire service covers Amersham on the Hill?

That’s Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.

Do you cover smaller places like Amersham on the Hill?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Amersham on the Hill is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.

How much time does an inspection need?

An inspection takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Sites with several canopies take longer, and you can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to book it in.

How much does TR19 inspection cost?

There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.

When should we have our next grease test?

We suggest a next test date in every report, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.

What should I send you?

A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
