How we handle TR19 inspection in Medmenham
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. If you have systems that need surveying before cleaning and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean, we can help, from post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and access surveys onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Medmenham, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters don’t mean a clean plenum. That’s why we test behind them.

What happens on the day
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 pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. In a small place like Medmenham, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
Why deal with it now?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in Medmenham a current picture. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Trading since 2009
- We diagnose before we treat
Medmenham questions
Do you work in villages like Medmenham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Medmenham included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Medmenham?
Fire safety enforcement in Medmenham is handled by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is not law; it’s BESA’s specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
What is post-clean verification?
Verification means repeat readings and photos once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with 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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Medmenham kitchens: local notes
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Medmenham, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Food hygiene inspections in Medmenham are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Medmenham is covered by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Medmenham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Marlow Community Hospital about 3.3 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Danesfield School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
