In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
TR19 inspection in Lower North Dean
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests, and people most often call us about sites with gaps in their extract records and checking the result of a recent clean.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
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 to a regular schedule.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
TR19 inspection around Lower North Dean
Food Standards Agency records include about 6 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Lower North Dean. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Lower North Dean, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. 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. The fire and rescue service for Lower North Dean is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
For schools such as Hughenden Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Chiltern Hospital, about 3.3 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Lower North Dean
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Lower North Dean during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Lower North Dean, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you work in Lower North Dean outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
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.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: 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.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. Our report sets your readings against both.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Lower North Dean.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Lower North Dean?
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so panels can be fitted.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Checking the result of a recent clean
Where a hall near Speen Church (Baptist), or anywhere in Lower North Dean, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- How VAT is shown on the quote
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Post-clean checks

- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
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.
