- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
How it works
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. All told, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Somewhere like Middle Claydon, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

TR19 inspection in Middle Claydon
Taking on a kitchen in Middle Claydon with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. If you have an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How we price TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system

Common questions in Middle Claydon
Do you work at weekends in Middle Claydon?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Middle Claydon needn’t be disturbed. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Middle Claydon?
Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Middle Claydon. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How much time does an inspection need?
Typically, the inspection takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Is Middle Claydon in your area?
Yes. We cover Middle Claydon and across Buckinghamshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.

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.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Middle Claydon?
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Missing access panels found on survey
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Claydon House is about 0.3 miles south), access may need planning.

- What hours they’ll be on site

- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so access is planned in advance.
