About our TR19 inspection in Monks Risborough
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Monks Risborough and across Buckinghamshire a clear record of the system’s condition. Typical jobs include extracts that have never been grease tested and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, on deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Why act early in Monks Risborough
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Monks Risborough rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. 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. For a village or hamlet like Monks Risborough, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Monks Risborough
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
What we are most often called out for:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
Where a hall near Church of St Dunstan, or anywhere in Monks Risborough, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Monks Risborough

- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Monks Risborough?

Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.

Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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.
