About our TR19 inspection in Paynes Green
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. We are often asked to deal with extracts that have never been grease tested and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, across deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and post-clean checks.
In a village or hamlet like Paynes Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

In-house cleaning or 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, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. We take readings there and photograph it as part of every survey.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so trading isn’t affected.
Why act early in Paynes Green
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. If the system at a site near Paynes Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Related advice
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
