About our TR19 inspection in Woburn Sands
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you have extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and uncertainty over how often to clean, we can help.
Kitchens around a place like Woburn Sands are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. In a smaller place like Woburn Sands, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Woburn Sands questions
Is Woburn Sands within the area you cover?
Yes, Woburn Sands is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Woburn Sands?
Kitchens in Woburn Sands are inspected by Milton Keynes council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.

When to call us in Woburn Sands
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so panels can be fitted.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Milton Keynes University Hospital about 3.6 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Comparing quotes
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Why it’s worth doing now in Woburn Sands
Sites in Woburn Sands that have never measured grease cannot tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Woburn Sands than wait for a failure.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What you get with us
- A written report with photos after every visit
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day

Keeping the system healthy

- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Never cook with filters missing
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
