Common questions in Hill End
Can you get to a site in Hill End?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hill End is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to Hill End after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, along with any actions needed.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
TR19 inspection in Hill End
Before any clean in Hill End, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you have kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and sites with gaps in their extract records, we can help, from pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests onwards.
In a small place like Hill End, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Hill End.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Hill End
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
Ickenham Hall, about 4.1 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Hill End; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Before you book anyone
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What hours they’ll be on site

TR19 inspection in Hill End: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 16 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops across Hill End and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. In Hill End, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hillingdon council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Hill End is covered by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
School kitchens, at schools like Harefield Infant School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Harefield Baptist Church, or anywhere in Hill End, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
