TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Little Marlow
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the clean can be planned properly. The work covers post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and access surveys, and the jobs we see most are systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit.
For a kitchen in or near Little Marlow, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Little Marlow
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
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 you know where you stand.
Helping us quote

- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted

What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. We record what can and cannot be reached.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
What happens if it’s left?
Do not wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
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 explain each part.
Why book with us
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

Little Marlow: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Little Marlow?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Little Marlow needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Little Marlow out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 5 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Little Marlow. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is Little Marlow in your area?
Yes. We work in Little Marlow and the rest of Buckinghamshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Testing takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Large or multiple systems take longer, so call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll plan it.
Why survey before a clean?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. We can work from photos and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What is post-clean verification?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.

What else we do in Little Marlow
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Somewhere as small as Little Marlow, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- 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
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Little Marlow and across Buckinghamshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Little Marlow?
Grease in a duct is flammable 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. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Little Marlow is Marlow Community Hospital, about 1.5 miles south-west.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
