Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Broughton
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
- A single visit or a regular plan
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
About our TR19 inspection in Broughton
Before any clean in Broughton, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. We’re often asked to deal with surveys needed before quoting a full clean and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, on deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Broughton gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Common questions in Broughton
Can you work in Broughton outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Broughton keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Broughton?
Kitchens in Broughton are inspected by Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How long does grease testing take?
It takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Broughton
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Buckinghamshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Broughton?
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.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
Where a hall near Church of St James, or anywhere in Broughton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a survey comes first
What happens if it’s left?
Without readings, you are guessing when to clean. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, which you won’t know without measuring. Even a site near Broughton that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced 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.

What TR19 inspection cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

What else we do in Broughton
Grease, kitchens and Broughton
Food Standards Agency records list about 12 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 takeaways and sandwich shops across Broughton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. In Broughton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Broughton sits within the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bierton Church of England Combined School or anywhere near Broughton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tindal Centre about 1.4 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
