TR19 inspection in Woburn
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Woburn and the rest of Milton Keynes. Typical jobs include sections of duct that can’t be reached and checking the result of a recent clean, across wet film thickness tests, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys.
In a village or hamlet like Woburn, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Think of the report as the 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.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Woburn
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Why it’s worth doing now in Woburn
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you won’t know without measuring. A planned visit to Woburn is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Keep the route to access panels clear
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Common problems we fix in Woburn
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.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
School kitchens, at schools like Woburn Lower School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before booking
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether VAT is included
Managing agents and facilities teams in Woburn
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Woburn.
- 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.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Questions from Woburn
Is Woburn within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you work in Woburn outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Woburn can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, before anyone starts cleaning. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
A post-clean check records grease readings and pictures after the work, whoever did the clean.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Woburn
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs and bars as registered food businesses in Woburn and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Woburn 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. It’s Central Bedfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Woburn. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Bletchley Community Hospital (about 5.4 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near Old Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Woburn, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
