TR19 inspection in Parslow's Hillock
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. The work covers pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and access surveys, and the jobs we see most are missing access panels found on survey and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings.
For a kitchen in or near Parslow's Hillock, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How the job changes from site to site

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Parslow's Hillock
Which fire service covers Parslow's Hillock?
That is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who inspects food businesses in Parslow's Hillock?
The local authority for Parslow's Hillock is Buckinghamshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What does TR19 mean?
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.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
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 grease levels does TR19 allow?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area isn’t in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Leave it or put it right?
Sites in Parslow's Hillock that have never measured grease cannot tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Parslow's Hillock
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Checking the result of a recent clean
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chiltern Hospital (about 4.9 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Design faults in the extract system
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Parslow's Hillock.
- 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.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
