TR19 inspection near Woughton on the Green

For landlords and multi-site operators

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

TR19 inspection in Woughton on the Green

Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you have uncertainty over how often to clean and checking the result of a recent clean, we can help.

In a village or hamlet like Woughton on the Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Kitchen extracts in Woughton on the Green

Food Standards Agency records list about 45 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 39 takeaways and sandwich shops across Woughton on the Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Kitchens in Woughton on the Green get their food hygiene inspections from Milton Keynes council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Woughton on the Green is covered by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Milton Keynes University Hospital about 0.6 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Bletchley Park is about 1.9 miles south-west), access may need planning.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
  • Hidden runs that need access panels first
  • The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean

If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How it works

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Visits to a village like Woughton on the Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.

  1. Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
  2. We open the access points used on the clean.
  3. We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
  4. Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
  5. The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.

What we are called out for in Woughton on the Green

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.

These are the problems we see most often:

  • Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
  • Sites with gaps in their extract records
  • An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
  • Extracts that have never been grease tested

Bursars and site managers at schools such as Langland Community School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Questions from Woughton on the Green

Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Woughton on the Green?

Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Woughton on the Green. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.

Can school kitchens in Woughton on the Green be cleaned in the holidays?

Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 33 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Woughton on the Green. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.

How much notice should we give?

That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.

Which sectors do you work in?

All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.

Can you work evenings and weekends?

Yes, and it’s often the best time. The visit is timed for when the area isn’t in use, whether that’s late evening, overnight or a weekend.

At what point does grease need cleaning?

TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.

What do you do to protect the area?

With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.

What if parts of the system cannot be reached?

They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
