TR19 inspection in Upper North Dean
Taking on a kitchen in Upper North Dean with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. The work covers pre-clean surveys, deposit thickness tests and access surveys, and people most often call us about post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and sites with gaps in their extract records.
Work in a small place like Upper North Dean starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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 are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so trading is not affected.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Buckinghamshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. For a village or hamlet like Upper North Dean, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep the route to access panels clear
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
