TR19 inspection in Slough: how it works

Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites across Slough a clear record of the system’s condition. Common call-outs are for kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and missing access panels found on survey, across insurer audits, access surveys and pre-clean surveys.

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system.

The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.

TR19 inspection across Slough: local notes

Kitchens across Slough 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.

Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites in Slough can keep trading.

Slough: If you cook for passing trade around Slough station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Upton Hospital is the nearest hospital to Slough, about 0.9 miles south-east.

Leave it or put it right?

An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in Slough a current picture.

Keeping the system healthy

No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:

Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
Book the next test on the date in the report
Keep the route to access panels clear

The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.

Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.

Signs you need TR19 inspection

Some parts of a system are hard to reach, so those sections can be skipped time and again. An inspection of a system in Slough shows where access panels are missing, so panels can be fitted.

Look out for these warning signs:

Parts of the system left out of past cleans
Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
Systems that need surveying before cleaning

How we price TR19 inspection

Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:

Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
The times the site is available
Travel, parking and unloading

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 we need to know

What to send for a quote:

Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Different parts, different methods

Vertical risers

Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so we arrange access ahead of time.

Canopy and plenum

Clean-looking filters do not mean a clean plenum. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.

Questions from Slough

What about areas you can’t get to?

They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.

How far ahead should we book?

The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.

How much time does an inspection need?

An inspection takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Large or multiple systems take longer, so phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll plan it.

Do you work in Slough?

Yes. Slough is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.

What is post-clean verification?

It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, whoever did the clean.

What should I send you?

Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What is TR19?

It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
