TR19 inspection in Westcott
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. We’re often asked to deal with post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, on insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and access surveys.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Leave it or put it right?
Without readings, you are guessing when to clean. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you won’t know without measuring. With notice, the visit to Westcott can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Westcott and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

What else we do in Westcott
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so trading is not affected.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Westcott?
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Westcott Church of England School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What insurance they carry
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Westcott
Do you cover smaller places like Westcott?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Westcott is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come to Westcott after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Westcott can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How much time does an inspection need?
Testing takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Large or multiple systems take longer, so ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll plan it.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted ahead of the clean.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
TR19 inspection in Westcott: the local picture
There are about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Westcott and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Westcott sits within the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Westcott. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Waddesdon Manor is about 0.9 miles east), access may need planning. Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Westcott, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
