About our TR19 inspection in Padbury
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Padbury and the rest of Buckinghamshire. The work covers deposit thickness tests, access surveys and post-clean checks, and the jobs we see most are kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and checking the result of a recent clean.
For a kitchen in or near Padbury, 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, 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.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Keep the route to access panels clear
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.

Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Common questions in Padbury
Is Padbury within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Padbury?
The local authority for Padbury is Buckinghamshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What do the grease readings need to be?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. We show your readings against those figures.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Padbury?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Leave it or put it right?
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 Padbury a current picture. In a place like Padbury, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Padbury.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- 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.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Padbury kitchens: local notes
Padbury is covered by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. At about 49 miles from central London, Padbury sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
School kitchens, at schools like Padbury Church of England School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Padbury, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Buckingham Community Hospital about 2.7 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Padbury is about 2 miles south-east of Buckingham, in Buckinghamshire. Across the MK18 area, we cover TR19 inspection for commercial sites. 263 places in Buckinghamshire are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots. Milton Keynes is in our area too, around 9 miles away.
Our technicians cover all of MK18 for TR19 inspection and the streets around it. Whether your site is on Main Street, Lower Way and Old Springfields or anywhere close by, our technicians can take on the work. We also cover Adstock (1 mile east), Buckingham (2 miles north-west), Thornborough (2 miles north-east), Steeple Claydon (3 miles south-west) and Middle Claydon (3 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Aylesbury (12 miles south-east), Elmhurst (12 miles south-east), Southcourt (13 miles south-east), Haydon Hill (11 miles south-east), Turnfurlong (13 miles south-east) and Haddenham (14 miles south).
Local landmarks in Padbury
Around Padbury, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Black Bird pub and Royal Latin School, among other places. Nearby you’ll also find Buckingham Castle (2.6 miles north-west) and Buckingham Movie Museum (2.6 miles north-west). Open spaces near Padbury include Buckingham Sand Pit.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
