TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Water Stratford
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. Typical jobs include kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, across post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys.
In a village or hamlet like Water Stratford, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as 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 we are called out for in Water Stratford
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Buckingham Community Hospital about 2.8 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Proof of insurance
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays so meals are not affected.
What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Visits to a village like Water Stratford are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, before the next clean is due. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Other services in Water Stratford
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Questions from Water Stratford
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Water Stratford out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Water Stratford. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Water Stratford?
Yes. Water Stratford 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?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Grease, kitchens and Water Stratford
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Water Stratford. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. In Water Stratford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Water Stratford falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Stowe House, about 2.3 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Water Stratford; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
