TR19 inspection in Langley
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. We’re often asked to deal with missing TR19 certificates or history and systems that need surveying before cleaning, across deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys.
For a smaller kitchen near Langley, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Tell us when your site near Langley is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- 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
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; 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.
Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Kitchen extracts in Langley
Food Standards Agency data counts about 49 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 42 sandwich bars and takeaways across Langley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Kitchens in Langley get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. 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. Langley is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you cook for passing trade around Langley station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Langley Academy Primary, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary the Virgin Church or anywhere around Langley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays to avoid disruption.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, out of sight of the kitchen.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly

Common questions in Langley
Who inspects food businesses in Langley?
In Langley, it’s Buckinghamshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can school kitchens in Langley be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 11 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Langley, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
How we price TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
- The times the site is available
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
