TR19 inspection in Old Wolverton
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. The work covers post-clean checks, insurer audits and access surveys, and people most often call us about heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean.
In a smaller place like Old Wolverton, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
We have been trading since 2009, as 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.

FAQs for Old Wolverton
Who is the fire and rescue service for Old Wolverton?
Old Wolverton is in the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you come to Old Wolverton after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Old Wolverton keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Old Wolverton?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
What is post-clean verification?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It works whoever carried out the clean.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. Each reading is recorded in microns.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What happens if it’s left?
If a kitchen in Old Wolverton has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, out of sight of the kitchen.
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters don’t mean a clean plenum. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
