TR19 inspection in Rowsham
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Rowsham and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Typical jobs include pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, across access surveys, post-clean checks and insurer audits.
In a village or hamlet like Rowsham, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Rowsham
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Rowsham kitchens: local notes
Fire safety in Rowsham falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Rowsham. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Rowsham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Tindal Centre, about 2.7 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Wingrave Church of England Combined School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Rowsham is about 3 miles north-east of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. We carry out TR19 inspection for commercial premises of every kind in Rowsham and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Rowsham is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire we cover for commercial clients. We also work in Milton Keynes, about 13 miles from Rowsham.
Here we cover the HP22 postcode area for TR19 inspection. You will find streets such as Bennetts Lane and Manor Road, all of which we cover for TR19 inspection.

Around Rowsham
Typical jobs here are in premises near MacIntyre School. Rowsham’s nearest station is Aylesbury station, roughly 3.5 miles south-west. A little further out are Bolbec Castle (3.6 miles north-west) and Tindal Centre (2.7 miles south-west).
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Part by part
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so it can be fixed before the clean.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Rowsham.
- 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.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Rowsham: your questions answered
Is Rowsham within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Rowsham is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Rowsham?
That’s Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What is post-clean verification?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, so the clean goes to plan. Any access problems are flagged ahead of the clean.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® isn’t law; it’s BESA’s specification. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
