TR19 Inspection in Fleet Marston
TR19 inspection for Fleet Marston, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
What we are called out for in Fleet Marston
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
For schools such as Green Ridge Primary Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

TR19 inspection in Fleet Marston, done properly
Taking on a kitchen in Fleet Marston with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers access surveys, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and sections of duct that can’t be reached.
In a small place like Fleet Marston, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
Kitchen extracts in Fleet Marston
Food Standards Agency data counts about 11 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 10 takeaways in Fleet Marston and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Fleet Marston. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Fleet Marston is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hospital like St John's Hospital, about 2.1 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a café or takeaway near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
Fleet Marston is about 2 miles north-west of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire.

Why deal with it now?
Without readings, you are guessing when to clean. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. Somewhere as small as Fleet Marston, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day.

- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit

Advice
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
FAQs for Fleet Marston
Which environmental health team covers Fleet Marston?
Food hygiene inspections in Fleet Marston are carried out by Buckinghamshire council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you cover smaller places like Fleet Marston?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Fleet Marston is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How often should grease be tested?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, by WFTT or DTT. The results are given in microns.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
