About our TR19 inspection in Wingrave
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. The work covers deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and wet film thickness tests, and people most often call us about missing TR19 certificates or history and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed.
In a small place like Wingrave, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Part by part
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays so meals aren’t affected.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.

FAQs for Wingrave
Which council inspects kitchens in Wingrave?
The local authority for Wingrave 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.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Wingrave during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Wingrave. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, as suits the job.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Wingrave
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
For schools such as Wingrave Church of England Combined School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Wingrave and across Buckinghamshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
The process
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 Wingrave and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tindal Centre about 3.9 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
