TR19 inspection across Milton Keynes: what to expect
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. The work covers deposit thickness tests, access surveys and wet film thickness tests, and people most often call us about heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen.
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.

TR19 inspection around Milton Keynes
Our TR19 inspection work across Milton Keynes takes in places such as Bletchley, Newport Pagnell and Bletchley and Fenny Stratford and the villages in between.

Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites in Milton Keynes can keep trading.
Milton Keynes: If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Milton Keynes University Hospital about 1.5 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of Christ the Cornerstone or anywhere around Milton Keynes, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. 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
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
If you need TR19 inspection in Milton Keynes, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Why it fails
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Never cook with filters missing
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Milton Keynes
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Questions from Milton Keynes
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
It takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
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 is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
