TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford
Before any clean in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. The work covers access surveys, insurer audits and post-clean checks, and common reasons people get in touch are surveys needed before quoting a full clean and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings.
In a town like Bletchley and Fenny Stratford, most of the kitchen extracts we’re asked about belong to restaurants, cafés, pubs, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Whatever the kitchen, the canopy, filters, duct and fan all collect grease.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and photos. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Want a quote for TR19 inspection? Please call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

What we’re called out for in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Checking the result of a recent clean
If you cook for passing trade around Bletchley station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Who inspects food businesses in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford?

Do you work in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Bletchley and Fenny Stratford.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
