- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Never cook with filters missing
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Saunderton
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the clean can be planned properly. The work covers deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are extracts that have never been grease tested and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning.
In a small place like Saunderton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Saunderton: your questions answered
Can you work in Saunderton outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Saunderton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Readings show if the interval is right.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system, and we clear up before we go. In a small place like Saunderton, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us where we can park and unload

TR19 inspection in Saunderton: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Saunderton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Saunderton are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Saunderton falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Wycombe Hospital (about 4.6 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Paul or anywhere around Saunderton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What we are called out for in Saunderton
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
Look out for any of the following:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
If you cook for passing trade around Saunderton station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Leave it or put it right?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, which you will not know without measuring. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Saunderton rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
