TR19 Inspection in Burroughs Grove
TR19 inspections, grease thickness testing, pre-clean surveys and post-clean verification for commercial sites in Burroughs Grove and across Buckinghamshire. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Do you need TR19 inspection in Burroughs Grove?
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Marlow Community Hospital about 1.4 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

About our TR19 inspection in Burroughs Grove
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. Typical jobs include parts of the system left out of past cleans and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, on access surveys, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests.
Work in a small place like Burroughs Grove starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Kitchen extracts in Burroughs Grove
Look up Burroughs Grove on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 12 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Burroughs Grove, up to about a mile and a half out. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Kitchens in Burroughs Grove get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Burroughs Grove is covered by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
School kitchens, at schools like Burford School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Harleyford Manor, about 3.3 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Burroughs Grove; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Burroughs Grove
Can you work in Burroughs Grove outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Burroughs Grove doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Burroughs Grove during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 5 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Burroughs Grove. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Mechanical faults in the extract
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests

How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Burroughs Grove, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Why it’s worth doing now in Burroughs Grove
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you won’t know without measuring. In a small place like Burroughs Grove, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
