TR19 inspection in Radclive
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. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. The work covers access surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and surveys needed before quoting a full clean.
In a village or hamlet like Radclive, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

FAQs for Radclive
Do you work in villages like Radclive?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Radclive is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Radclive?
Kitchens in Radclive are inspected by Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, before anyone starts cleaning. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
Verification means repeat readings and photos once the clean is done. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
What information do you need?
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 drop us a line.
What is grease thickness testing?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
What affects the quote in Radclive
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
If you need TR19 inspection in Radclive, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. For a village or hamlet like Radclive, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. We record what can and cannot be reached.
Honest limits
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Radclive
Why deal with it now?
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, so the clean covers the whole system. Somewhere as small as Radclive, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

TR19 inspection in Radclive: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 27 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 10 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Radclive. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Kitchens in Radclive get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Radclive is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
A hospital like Buckingham Community Hospital, about 1.3 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St John or elsewhere in Radclive, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Royal Latin School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
