Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Iver
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
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. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Iver
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: 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. Typical jobs include missing access panels found on survey and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, across post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys.
Work in a small place like Iver starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
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 as part of every survey.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Iver: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Iver?
That’s Buckinghamshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Iver. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Iver out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Iver, the Food Standards Agency lists about 10 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
How much time does an inspection need?
Testing takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Sites with several canopies take longer, so give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will plan it.
Why survey before a clean?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
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.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Iver
The FSA’s data shows about 14 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Iver. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Iver. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Iver 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 you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Hillingdon Hospital about 2.1 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Iver, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Iver is about 3 miles south-west of Hillingdon, in Buckinghamshire. We provide TR19 inspection for commercial premises of every kind in Iver and the rest of Buckinghamshire.

What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Iver knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

What else we do in Iver
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When to call us in Iver
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
For schools such as Iver Village Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether a survey comes first
