TR19 inspection in Loudwater
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. We are often asked to deal with sections of duct that can’t be reached and sites with gaps in their extract records, on insurer audits, access surveys and post-clean checks.
In a smaller place like Loudwater, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later 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’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Leave it or put it right?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. Even a site near Loudwater that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will talk you through it.

Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.

Kitchen extracts in Loudwater
Food Standards Agency records include about 20 pubs and bars in and around Loudwater, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Loudwater. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Hospital of St John the Baptist (about 2.3 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

FAQs for Loudwater
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Loudwater?
Loudwater is in the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you cover smaller places like Loudwater?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Loudwater is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How long does grease testing take?
As a guide, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. System size and access decide the rest.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, before anyone starts cleaning. Any access problems are flagged ahead of the clean.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Loudwater?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Loudwater
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system, and we clear up before we go. A site near Loudwater typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
Common problems we fix in Loudwater
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Loudwater, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
