TR19 Inspection in Ickford
For TR19 inspections and grease testing in Ickford, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.

- Missing access panels found on survey
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
Managing agents and facilities teams in Ickford
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Ickford
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you are dealing with pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Ickford, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Questions from Ickford
Will you come out to Ickford?
Yes, Ickford is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in Ickford be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Ickford keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Ickford is calmer for everyone.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Ickford
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs and bars registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Ickford. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Ickford are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Ickford is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Ickford (Boarstall Tower is about 4.5 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Parish Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Ickford, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Ickford.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Ickford?
Grease is 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:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Ickford is Thame Community Hospital, about 4 miles east.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether a survey comes first
