Why act early in Long Crendon
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. When a site near Long Crendon shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

TR19 inspection in Long Crendon
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. If you are dealing with systems that need surveying before cleaning and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, we can help, from pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and insurer audits onwards.
Kitchens around a place like Long Crendon are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the TR19 inspection, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Tell us when your site near Long Crendon is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.

What affects the quote in Long Crendon
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot 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 simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
TR19 inspection in Long Crendon: the local picture
Look up Long Crendon on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Long Crendon. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Food hygiene inspections in Long Crendon are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Long Crendon falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For schools such as Long Crendon School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Long Crendon, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Look out for any of the following:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Long Crendon is Thame Community Hospital, about 2.4 miles south-east.
What your quote should include

Common questions in Long Crendon
Which fire authority looks after Long Crendon?
That is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you get to a site in Long Crendon?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Long Crendon is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Long Crendon?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so you don’t have to close during trading.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
