TR19 inspection in Great Missenden
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. The work covers pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are missing TR19 certificates or history and systems that need surveying before cleaning.
For a kitchen in or near Great Missenden, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Great Missenden
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
Why act early in Great Missenden
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 worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Great Missenden
Can you get to a site in Great Missenden?
Yes, Great Missenden is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come to Great Missenden after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Great Missenden does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What is grease thickness testing?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
How often should grease be tested?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
What is post-clean verification?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Kitchen extracts in Great Missenden
Food Standards Agency records include about 6 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Great Missenden. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Great Missenden, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Great Missenden is covered by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chiltern Hospital (about 1.1 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
