How we handle TR19 inspection in Stokenchurch
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. We’re often asked to deal with heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and checking the result of a recent clean, on wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests.
In a smaller place like Stokenchurch, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
What affects the quote in Stokenchurch
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
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 will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
If you need TR19 inspection in Stokenchurch, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
FAQs for Stokenchurch
Do you work at weekends in Stokenchurch?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Stokenchurch needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Stokenchurch?
That’s Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What is grease thickness testing?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Kitchen extracts in Stokenchurch
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Stokenchurch. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Stokenchurch. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Stokenchurch, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (West Wycombe Park House is about 4.2 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Stokenchurch Methodist Church or elsewhere in Stokenchurch, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What we are called out for in Stokenchurch
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Checking the result of a recent clean
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Stokenchurch Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Why deal with it now?
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. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Stokenchurch, so let us know how to reach it.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
