TR19 inspection in Stoke Hammond
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. Common call-outs are for missing TR19 certificates or history and missing access panels found on survey, across post-clean checks, access surveys and deposit thickness tests.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Stoke Hammond
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Stoke Hammond. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stoke Hammond. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Stoke Hammond is covered by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Sir Herbert Leon Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Bletchley Park, about 3.1 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Stoke Hammond; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
When to call us in Stoke Hammond
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Bletchley Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Stoke Hammond, about 3.1 miles north-west.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the price is fixed
- What insurance they carry
- How they set the interval to the next visit
FAQs for Stoke Hammond
Can you work in Stoke Hammond outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in Stoke Hammond?
Kitchens in Stoke Hammond are inspected by Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
What is post-clean verification?
Verification means repeat readings and pictures once the clean is done. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
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.
Why survey before a clean?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. It lets us plan the clean and give you a fixed quote.
Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, 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. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Stoke Hammond, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- 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.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
