TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Great Hampden
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. Common call-outs are for missing TR19 certificates or history and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, across deposit thickness tests, access surveys and wet film thickness tests.
For a kitchen in or near Great Hampden, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why it’s worth doing now in Great Hampden
Sites in Great Hampden that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What you get with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
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, alongside our reports.
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Great Hampden
Is Great Hampden within the area you cover?
Yes. Great Hampden is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Great Hampden?
Great Hampden is in the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so it matters in practice.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
What is grease thickness testing?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
When to call us in Great Hampden
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hughenden Manor is about 3.8 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether a survey comes first
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Great Hampden, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

How we price TR19 inspection
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
