TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Bow Brickhill
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. If you’re dealing with post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, access surveys and pre-clean surveys onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Bow Brickhill, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What else we do in Bow Brickhill
Common problems we fix in Bow Brickhill
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bow Brickhill CofE VA Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Proof of insurance
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Visits to a village like Bow Brickhill are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Related advice
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. We record what can and cannot be reached.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
What affects the quote in Bow Brickhill
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
