Leave it or put it right?
If a kitchen in Butler's Cross has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

About our TR19 inspection in Butler's Cross
Taking on a kitchen in Butler's Cross with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. If you have heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, we can put it right, from deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits onwards.
Work in a small place like Butler's Cross starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

TR19 inspection around Butler's Cross
Food Standards Agency data counts about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Butler's Cross. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Butler's Cross sits within the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Butler's Cross. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Butler's Cross, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
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.
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.

What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Butler's Cross and turn up when the site is quiet.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Advice
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
FAQs for Butler's Cross
Do you work in villages like Butler's Cross?
Yes. Butler's Cross is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who inspects food businesses in Butler's Cross?
That is Buckinghamshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Butler's Cross. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It works whoever carried out the clean.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. Each reading is recorded in microns.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
How often should grease be tested?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
