Questions from Coldmoorholme
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Coldmoorholme?
Fire safety enforcement in Coldmoorholme is handled by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Coldmoorholme out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Coldmoorholme, the Food Standards Agency lists about 7 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Is Coldmoorholme in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Coldmoorholme included.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. It lets us plan the clean and give you a fixed quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Coldmoorholme
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 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. The work covers access surveys, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys, and people most often call us about extracts that have never been grease tested and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean.
In a small place like Coldmoorholme, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Readings show if the interval is right.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.
Kitchen extracts in Coldmoorholme
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 16 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Coldmoorholme. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Coldmoorholme, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Coldmoorholme. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Coldmoorholme is Marlow Community Hospital, about 2.1 miles west. A kitchen near Bourne End station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

How we price TR19 inspection
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Coldmoorholme?
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Coldmoorholme shows where access panels are missing, so panels can be fitted.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mark or elsewhere in Coldmoorholme, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
What happens on the day
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Coldmoorholme.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
