TR19 inspection in Drayton Parslow
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Drayton Parslow and don’t know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. We’re often asked to deal with confirming a clean reached the whole system and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, across wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and post-clean checks.
Work in a small place like Drayton Parslow 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Drayton Parslow can be planned properly.
- 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.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.

Drayton Parslow questions
Do you cover smaller places like Drayton Parslow?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Drayton Parslow included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can a school canteen extract in Drayton Parslow be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Drayton Parslow, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How long does grease testing take?
Testing takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Large or multiple systems take longer, and you can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email to book it in.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and an audit report gives you that, with recommendations where something needs doing.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. Our report sets your readings against both.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, and readings show whether that’s enough.
When to call us in Drayton Parslow
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 Drayton Parslow shows where access panels are missing, so panels can be fitted.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Drayton Parslow, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether VAT is included
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Grease, kitchens and Drayton Parslow

A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Drayton Parslow falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
