About our TR19 inspection in Moulsoe
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Moulsoe and don’t know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. If you have sites with gaps in their extract records and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, we can put it right, from deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Moulsoe, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, well away from where anyone looks.
How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Moulsoe run smoothly.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Grease, kitchens and Moulsoe
Food Standards Agency records list about 10 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways in Moulsoe and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. In Moulsoe, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Milton Keynes council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Moulsoe is 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Milton Keynes University Hospital about 3.7 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Moulsoe, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Linford Manor is about 3.4 miles west), access may need planning.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Moulsoe
Do you work overnight in Moulsoe?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Moulsoe keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire service covers Moulsoe?
Fire safety enforcement in Moulsoe is handled by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
