TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Ibstone
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Ibstone and don’t know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. We are often asked to deal with surveys needed before quoting a full clean and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, on access surveys, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks.
For a kitchen in or near Ibstone, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

TR19 inspection around Ibstone
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Ibstone. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Food hygiene inspections in Ibstone are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Ibstone is 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.
For schools such as Ibstone CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Ibstone, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Stonor Park is about 3 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What else we do in Ibstone
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, out of sight of the kitchen.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Ibstone questions
Which fire authority looks after Ibstone?
That’s Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Which council inspects kitchens in Ibstone?
The local authority for Ibstone is Buckinghamshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. We show your readings against those figures.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What happens if it’s left?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you won’t know without measuring. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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. That is our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Ibstone, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- 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.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
