TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Remenham
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, 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. Typical jobs include ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and systems that need surveying before cleaning, across access surveys, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks.
Work in a small place like Remenham starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Remenham, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
Grease, kitchens and Remenham
Food Standards Agency data counts about 49 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 9 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Remenham, up to about a mile and a half out. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Remenham is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Remenham. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Marlow Community Hospital (about 5.4 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Remenham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Around Remenham

What we are called out for in Remenham
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, so those sections can be skipped time and again. An inspection of a system in Remenham shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Greenlands is about 1 mile north), access may need planning.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What hours they’ll be on site
What happens if it’s left?
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, and the quote reflects the real job. In a small place like Remenham, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Why book with us
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- We’re fully insured
- Trading since 2009

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Remenham: your questions answered
Will you come out to Remenham?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Remenham is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work at weekends in Remenham?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Remenham keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
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.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Why survey before a clean?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. It lets us plan the clean and give you a fixed quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
