About our TR19 inspection in Radnage
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you are dealing with checking the result of a recent clean and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, we can help, from pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the quote in Radnage
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Questions from Radnage
Do you cover smaller places like Radnage?
Yes, Radnage is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Radnage?
That is Buckinghamshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Radnage. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted ahead of the clean.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, whether that’s late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, photos, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
How much time does an inspection need?
Expect it to take a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
TR19 inspection in Radnage: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Radnage, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Kitchens in Radnage get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Radnage. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Radnage, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Radnage Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

When to call us in Radnage
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (West Wycombe Park House is about 3.2 miles south-east), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before booking
- What records you will receive afterwards
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- When the next visit should be, and why
