Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Lamport and across Buckinghamshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Lamport
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. We’re often asked to deal with confirming a clean reached the whole system and missing TR19 certificates or history, on insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys.
For a kitchen in or near Lamport, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

FAQs for Lamport
Who inspects food businesses in Lamport?
Food hygiene inspections in Lamport are carried out by Buckinghamshire council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire authority looks after Lamport?
That is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will book around them.
Do you work in Lamport?
Yes. We cover Lamport and the rest of Buckinghamshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, not in itself. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
When should we have our next grease test?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
What happens if it’s left?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. With notice, the visit to Lamport can be fitted around your bookings and events.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Lamport.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. We take readings there and photograph it as part of every survey.

Common problems we fix in Lamport
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Lamport, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a survey comes first
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether VAT is included
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
TR19 inspection in Lamport: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Lamport. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Lamport. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Lamport get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Stowe House is about 0.9 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. School kitchens, at schools like Akeley Wood Senior School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
