Your questions about TR19 inspection in Chalfont St Giles
Can the work in Chalfont St Giles be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Chalfont St Giles can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Chalfont St Giles?
Yes, Chalfont St Giles is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, with recommendations where something needs doing.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so it matters in practice.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Chalfont St Giles
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. 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. Common call-outs are for extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and parts of the system left out of past cleans, on pre-clean surveys, access surveys and wet film thickness tests.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Chalfont St Giles gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, 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.

What we are called out for in Chalfont St Giles
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, which is why readings matter.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
School kitchens, at schools like Chalfont St Giles Infant School and Nursery for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What hours they’ll be on site
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether they’re fully insured
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. In a smaller place like Chalfont St Giles, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
