TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Forty Green
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Forty Green and across Buckinghamshire a clear record of the system’s condition. The work covers access surveys, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts.
In a small place like Forty Green, 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold 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.

TR19 inspection around Forty Green
Environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Forty Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. At about 38 miles from central London, Forty Green sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Forty Green (Adwell House is about 4.8 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.

What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- A faulty or failing extract fan
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Deposit thickness tests

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Diary the next grease test and clean
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
When to call us in Forty Green
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
A hospital like Thame Community Hospital, about 3.4 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether they’re fully insured
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Visits to a village like Forty Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Related advice
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays so meals are not affected.
