Buckinghamshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 inspections in Tyler's Hill
TR19 inspection across Tyler's Hill and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
Why deal with it now?
Sites in Tyler's Hill that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

TR19 inspection in Tyler's Hill, done properly
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. If you are dealing with extracts that have never been grease tested and uncertainty over how often to clean, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Tyler's Hill, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Never cook with filters missing
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.

Tyler's Hill questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Tyler's Hill?
The local authority for Tyler's Hill is Buckinghamshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work at weekends in Tyler's Hill?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Tyler's Hill can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so it matters in practice.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
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 don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
TR19 inspection around Tyler's Hill
Food Standards Agency data counts about 18 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 13 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Tyler's Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Tyler's Hill. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Tyler's Hill is covered by 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Ley Hill School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St George's Church, or anywhere in Tyler's Hill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Common problems we fix in Tyler's Hill
Grease is fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Amersham Hospital about 3.4 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
