TR19 inspections in Turville
Our technicians work in Turville on TR19 inspections and grease testing. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos on every job.
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
How we handle TR19 inspection in Turville
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. If you have an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, we can put it right, from insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks onwards.
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. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. We record what can and can’t be reached.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Turville knowing what to expect.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions in Turville
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Turville in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Turville, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Which environmental health team covers Turville?
Food hygiene inspections in Turville are carried out by Buckinghamshire council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is not law; it’s BESA’s specification. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What is post-clean verification?
Verification means repeat readings and photos once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Why deal with it now?
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, before the next clean is due. In a small place like Turville, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
