TR19 Inspection in Horsleys Green
One call covers TR19 inspections and grease testing in Horsleys Green: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. 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. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Horsleys Green.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
About our TR19 inspection in Horsleys Green
Taking on a kitchen in Horsleys Green with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. Typical jobs include ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, across wet film thickness tests, deposit thickness tests and access surveys.
In a small place like Horsleys Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
TR19 inspection in Horsleys Green: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Horsleys Green. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Kitchens in Horsleys Green get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Horsleys Green 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.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Horsleys Green (West Wycombe Park House is about 2.7 miles east), fitting access panels needs care. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Wycombe Hospital about 5 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Questions from Horsleys Green
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Horsleys Green?
Horsleys Green is in the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can the work in Horsleys Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Horsleys Green needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. System size and access decide the rest.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Horsleys Green?
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Mary Towerton School At Studley Green or anywhere near Horsleys Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What paperwork you get at the end
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. Readings and pictures are taken in the plenum on every inspection.
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so it can be fixed before the clean.
