About our TR19 inspection in Coleshill
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. If you have an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and sites with gaps in their extract records, we can put it right, from access surveys, insurer audits and post-clean checks onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Coleshill
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Coleshill and across Buckinghamshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Coleshill
Who inspects food businesses in Coleshill?
Kitchens in Coleshill are inspected by Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire service covers Coleshill?
That is 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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
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.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, before anyone starts cleaning. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. The visit is timed for when the area isn’t in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Why it’s worth doing now in Coleshill
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. It’s simpler to plan the work at Coleshill now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Part by part
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
The process
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 an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system, and we clear up before we go. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Coleshill, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Get a fixed quote
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.

Kitchen extracts in Coleshill
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Coleshill. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Coleshill sits within the area of 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. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Coleshill. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Coleshill Church of England Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Chenies Manor House is about 4.6 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Coleshill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Coleshill is about 2 miles south-west of Amersham, in Buckinghamshire. We provide TR19 inspection for commercial premises of every kind in Coleshill and the rest of Buckinghamshire. We cover 263 places across Buckinghamshire, large and small. Reading is in our area too, about 20 miles from Coleshill.
All of HP7 is covered for TR19 inspection, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Whether your site is on Village Road, Meadowcot Lane and Barracks Hill or a nearby road, we can help. We also cover the places around Coleshill: Winchmore Hill (1 mile west), Woodrow (1 mile north-west), Penn Street (2 miles north-west), Mop End (2 miles north-west) and Amersham on the Hill (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Aylesbury (14 miles north-west), High Wycombe (5 miles west), Chesham (4 miles north), Marlow (8 miles south-west), Beaconsfield (3 miles south) and Chalfont St Peter (4 miles south-east).
Local landmarks in Coleshill
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Amersham School, The Red Lion pub and Amersham Hall and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Amersham station, about 2 miles north-east of the centre. Nearby you will also find Great Missenden (4 miles north-west) and Amersham Hospital (1.1 miles north). For a walk, there’s Long Grove Wood.
What staff can safely do
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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Book the next test on the date in the report
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and photos. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
