How we price TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
For TR19 inspection in Walton, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
TR19 inspection in Walton, done properly
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. If you have kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, we can help.
In a smaller place like Walton, 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. For a place like Walton, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
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. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Walton questions
Can you get to a site in Walton?
Yes, Walton is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to Walton after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Walton keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, by WFTT or DTT. Each reading is recorded in microns.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. We show your readings against those figures.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Expect it to take a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests

Walton kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 38 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 33 takeaways in and around Walton, up to about a mile and a half out. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Kitchens in Walton get their food hygiene inspections from Milton Keynes council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Walton. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For schools such as Heronsgate School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Commuter trade near Bow Brickhill station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Walton?
When a site in Walton changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Milton Keynes University Hospital is the nearest hospital to Walton, about 1.7 miles north-west.
