TR19 inspection in Piddington, done properly
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. Typical jobs include post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, across post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys.
In a village or hamlet like Piddington, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Kitchen extracts in Piddington
Look up Piddington on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 8 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Piddington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Piddington. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Piddington get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Piddington (West Wycombe Park House is about 1.1 miles east), fitting access panels needs care. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Lawrence's Church or anywhere around Piddington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. A hospital like Wycombe Hospital, about 3.4 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Piddington is about 4 miles west of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Piddington, we can take on TR19 inspection.

Piddington questions
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Piddington in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Piddington. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Who inspects food businesses in Piddington?
Food hygiene inspections in Piddington are carried out by Buckinghamshire council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
How long does grease testing take?
An inspection takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Sites with several canopies take longer, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will plan it.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
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.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Buckinghamshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. We take readings there and photograph it on every inspection.
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Piddington can be planned properly.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
