TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Aldermaston Wharf
Taking on a kitchen in Aldermaston Wharf with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. If you’re dealing with uncertainty over how often to clean and extracts that have never been grease tested, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Aldermaston Wharf, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The report is your 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.

What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. We check and test them as part of the inspection.

What else we do in Aldermaston Wharf
Aldermaston Wharf: your questions answered
Will you come out to Aldermaston Wharf?
Yes. Aldermaston Wharf is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Aldermaston Wharf?
The local authority for Aldermaston Wharf is West Berkshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What is post-clean verification?
A post-clean check records grease readings and pictures after the work, whoever did the clean.
Why it’s worth doing now in Aldermaston Wharf
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. In a small place like Aldermaston Wharf, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What you get with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- In business since 2009
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Never cook with filters missing
- Flag oily drips near the extract
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
Common problems we fix in Aldermaston Wharf
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
Commuter trade near Aldermaston station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Aldermaston Wharf.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
