Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so it can be fixed before the clean.
TR19 inspection in Burcott, done properly
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. Typical jobs include missing TR19 certificates or history and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, on insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and access surveys.
In a village or hamlet like Burcott, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why act early in Burcott
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Burcott
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so panels can be fitted.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bierton Church of England Combined School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Burcott kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 23 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Burcott, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Burcott get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. 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 Burcott falls to Buckinghamshire 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 Tindal Centre about 1.1 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St James or elsewhere in Burcott, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Burcott, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Burcott
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Burcott?
That is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work in villages like Burcott?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Burcott included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. It lets us plan the clean and send you a fixed quote.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Never cook with filters missing
- Keep the route to access panels clear
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
