TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Pitch Green
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: 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 access surveys, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and surveys needed before quoting a full clean.
In a village or hamlet like Pitch Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Book the next test on the date in the report
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Leave it or put it right?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Somewhere as small as Pitch Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote

Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Mechanical faults in the extract
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Pitch Green?
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Princes Risborough School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
