TR19 Inspection in Hunt's Green
TR19 inspection for Hunt's Green, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, 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.
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.
About our TR19 inspection in Hunt's Green
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. We are often asked to deal with missing TR19 certificates or history and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, on post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits.
For a kitchen in or near Hunt's Green, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays so meals are not affected.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Questions from Hunt's Green
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hunt's Green?
In Hunt's Green, it’s Buckinghamshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is Hunt's Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Hunt's Green is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
How much time does an inspection need?
As a guide, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. System size and access decide the rest.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Hunt's Green can be planned properly.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. In a small place like Hunt's Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Kitchen extracts in Hunt's Green
Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Hunt's Green. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. At about 30 miles from central London, Hunt's Green sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Hunt's Green (Cholesbury Manor House is about 2.9 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. Where a hall near Old Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Hunt's Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as Lee Common Church of England School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
