About our TR19 inspection in Aldermaston Soke
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. Common call-outs are for surveys needed before quoting a full clean and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, on wet film thickness tests, access surveys and insurer audits.
In a small place like Aldermaston Soke, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Kitchen extracts in Aldermaston Soke
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Aldermaston Soke. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Aldermaston Soke get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Aldermaston Soke is Royal Berkshire 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 your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Aldermaston Soke (The Vyne is about 4.5 miles south), fitting access panels needs care. Where a hall near Saint Luke's Church, or anywhere in Aldermaston Soke, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Silchester Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Questions from Aldermaston Soke
Can you get to a site in Aldermaston Soke?
Yes. Aldermaston Soke is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Aldermaston Soke?
In Aldermaston Soke, it’s Basingstoke and Deane council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Need a price for TR19 inspection? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details about the site. We will talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Aldermaston Soke can be planned properly.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures 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 work begins.

What else we do in Aldermaston Soke
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- File every inspection report with your certificates
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Why it’s worth doing now in Aldermaston Soke
Do not wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Aldermaston Soke is calmer for everyone.

Part by part
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so the base is a key test point.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. Readings and photos are taken in the plenum on every inspection.
