TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Bucks Green
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Bucks Green and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. We’re often asked to deal with missing TR19 certificates or history and confirming a clean reached the whole system, on deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys.
For a kitchen in or near Bucks Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. The timing of a visit to Bucks Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
Bucks Green kitchens: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Bucks Green are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Bucks Green falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Horsham Hospital about 5.9 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Pennthorpe School or anywhere near Bucks Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Bucks Green: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Bucks Green?
In Bucks Green, it’s Horsham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you come to Bucks Green after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Bucks Green needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
When should we have our next grease test?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What we are called out for in Bucks Green
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Bucks Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- Proof of insurance
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- When the next visit should be, and why
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

What affects the quote in Bucks Green
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
