TR19 inspection across Bracknell Forest: what to expect
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. We’re often asked to deal with ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, across insurer audits, access surveys and post-clean checks.
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- 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.
Pricing in Bracknell Forest
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

TR19 inspection around Bracknell Forest
Kitchens across Bracknell Forest cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.
In England, the Fire Safety Order puts the duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and each certificate and photo report is a record you can keep in your log book.
Bracknell: A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Bracknell, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like Ranelagh School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Bracknell Forest. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
What happens if it’s left?
Without readings, you are guessing when to clean. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you won’t know without measuring.

What we’re called out for in Bracknell Forest
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
Common questions in Bracknell Forest
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How much time does an inspection need?
An inspection takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Sites with several canopies take longer, and you can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos to book it in.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What is post-clean verification?
A post-clean check records grease readings and photos after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
