Spurlands End: your questions answered

Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Spurlands End during the holidays?

Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 8 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Spurlands End. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.

Do you work at weekends in Spurlands End?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Spurlands End keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

What types of premises do you cover?

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

What do you do to protect the area?

Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

Are you accredited?

CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.

Why survey before a clean?

We survey, measure and photograph the system first. We can work from photos and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.

Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?

Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, along with any actions needed.

What is post-clean verification?

After a clean, we take new readings and pictures to show how the system was left. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.

TR19 inspection in Spurlands End

Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Spurlands End and across Buckinghamshire a clear record of the system’s condition. If you are dealing with ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and missing access panels found on survey, we can put it right, from pre-clean surveys, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests onwards.

Work in a small place like Spurlands End starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

When it’s something else

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
  • Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
  • Removing the grease, which is a separate clean

What TR19 inspection looks like in Spurlands End

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 17 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 sandwich bars and takeaways in Spurlands End and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Spurlands End sits within the area of 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. Kitchens in Spurlands End 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 TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Good Shepherd or elsewhere in Spurlands End, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Holmer Green First School and Pre-School or anywhere near Spurlands End, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Aftercare tips

A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:

  • Flag oily drips near the extract
  • Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
  • Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
  • Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test

After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.

Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

What we do, step by step

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. In a small place like Spurlands End, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.

  1. We go through any past certificates and reports.
  2. We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
  3. We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
  4. Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
  5. We report back with readings and a fixed quote.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

How to get a quote

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Advice

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Spurlands End

Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
  • An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
  • Extracts that have never been grease tested
  • Missing access panels found on survey

If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hughenden Manor is about 2.5 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Comparing quotes

  • How areas they can’t reach will be recorded

Our hiring checklist

What happens if it’s left?

Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Spurlands End is calmer for everyone.

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 go through it with you.
