Tylers Green: your questions answered
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Tylers Green in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 14 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Tylers Green. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you cover smaller places like Tylers Green?
Yes. Tylers Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning right away.
How much time does an inspection need?
Expect it to take an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
How often should grease be tested?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Tylers Green
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Tylers Green and across Buckinghamshire a clear record of the system’s condition. The work covers post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are systems that need surveying before cleaning and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits.
In a smaller place like Tylers Green, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Tylers Green
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
Where a hall near Church of St Margaret, or anywhere in Tylers Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Tylers Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 10 pubs and bars in and around Tylers Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Tylers Green get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Tylers Green falls to 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Hospital of St John the Baptist (about 2 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hughenden Manor is about 2.4 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Tylers Green is about 2 miles north-east of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.

What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. We take readings there and photograph it on every inspection.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
