Buckinghamshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 Inspection in Bisham
TR19 inspection for Bisham, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
TR19 inspection in Bisham, done properly
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers access surveys, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks, and people most often call us about kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits.
For a kitchen in or near Bisham, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
TR19 inspection around Bisham
Look up Bisham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 48 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 9 sandwich bars and takeaways in Bisham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Food hygiene inspections in Bisham are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Bisham falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Bisham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Bisham (Harleyford Manor is about 1.5 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.
Bisham is about 1 mile south of Marlow, in Buckinghamshire. We carry out TR19 inspection for commercial premises of every kind in Bisham and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Our area takes in 263 places across Buckinghamshire, from busy centres to quieter spots. Reading is in our area too, around 11 miles away.
TR19 inspection in SL7 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. That includes premises on Bisham Court, Marlow Road and Vansittart Road and the roads around them. We also cover Temple (1 mile south-west), Marlow (1 mile north), Cookham Dean (1 mile east), Pinkneys Green (2 miles south) and Cookham (2 miles east). Larger places within reach include High Wycombe (5 miles north), Chesham (13 miles north-east), Amersham (11 miles north-east), Beaconsfield (7 miles north-east), Chalfont St Peter (10 miles east) and Princes Risborough (12 miles north).

When to call us in Bisham
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Missing access panels found on survey
School kitchens, at schools like Bisham Church of England Academy for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Comparing quotes
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
When it’s something else
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
Why it’s worth doing now in Bisham
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, and the quote reflects the real job. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Bisham knowing what to expect.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Other services in Bisham
Bisham: your questions answered
Will you come out to Bisham?
Yes, Bisham is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which fire service covers Bisham?
Fire safety enforcement in Bisham is handled by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and photos. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bisham
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Buckinghamshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
