About our TR19 inspection in Hedsor
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers access surveys, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks, and the jobs we see most are insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and sites with gaps in their extract records.
Somewhere as small as Hedsor, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How we price TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For TR19 inspection in Hedsor, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hedsor
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. It’s simpler to plan the work at Hedsor now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

We look over the canopy, inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so the kitchen keeps cooking.
FAQs for Hedsor
Do you work overnight in Hedsor?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Hedsor needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who inspects food businesses in Hedsor?
That’s Buckinghamshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hedsor. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
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 accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What is post-clean verification?
Verification means repeat readings and pictures once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.
When should we have our next grease test?
We suggest a next test date in every report, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
An inspection takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Large or multiple systems take longer, so call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will plan it.

Kitchen extracts in Hedsor
Look up Hedsor on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 27 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hedsor. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Hedsor. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Hedsor sits within the area of 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.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Marlow Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hedsor, about 3.6 miles west. Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Paul's Church of England Combined School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Hedsor
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Cliveden is about 1.1 miles south), access may need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether a survey comes first
- Proof of insurance
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Design faults in the extract system
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before booking.
