About our TR19 inspection in Weedon
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Weedon and the rest of Buckinghamshire. We’re often asked to deal with post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, on post-clean checks, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests.
Somewhere as small as Weedon, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site, and we clear up before we go. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Weedon run smoothly.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
FAQs for Weedon
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Weedon?
The local authority for Weedon is Buckinghamshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Weedon?
That is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Weedon
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Part by part

Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.

What else we do in Weedon
Weedon kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Weedon. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Weedon get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Weedon 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.
A hospital like Tindal Centre, about 2.4 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like Old School Room Chapel for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Old School Room Chapel or elsewhere in Weedon, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
