TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Holly Green
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and access surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are parts of the system left out of past cleans and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning.
Work in a small place like Holly Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. That is why we test behind them.

How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Visits to a village like Holly 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.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Get a fixed quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

Why deal with it now?
Sites in Holly Green that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Holly Green
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 records stay tidy.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Diary the next grease test and clean
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Holly Green
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Holly Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Kitchen extracts in Holly Green
It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Holly Green. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Holly Green sits within the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Princes Risborough School or anywhere near Holly Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Common questions in Holly Green
Will you come out to Holly Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Holly Green included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who inspects food businesses in Holly Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Holly Green are carried out by Buckinghamshire council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
