About TR19 inspection in West Berkshire

BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. The work covers pre-clean surveys, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are insurers asking for TR19 evidence and extracts that have never been grease tested.

Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system.

First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.

TR19 inspection around West Berkshire

From Newbury, Thatcham and Burghfield Common to its smaller places, West Berkshire has kitchens of every size. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.

We work across London and the South East, and West Berkshire is part of that area. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price.

Newbury: Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as West Berkshire Community Hospital (about 1.5 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Commuter trade near Newbury station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Part by part

Horizontal duct runs

Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.

Canopy and plenum

The canopy itself is checked inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in West Berkshire

The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:

The condition of the system
Parking and loading at the site
The times the site is available
Site rules, permits and inductions

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What to send for a quote

What to send for a quote:

Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
The postcode and the type of business
Any access panels or hatches you can see
Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Berkshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

When it’s something else

Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:

Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
A faulty or failing extract fan

Your questions about TR19 inspection in West Berkshire

Do we have to follow TR19 by law?

No, TR19® isn’t legislation. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.

How much notice should we give?

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

Can the work be done while we’re closed?

Yes, and it’s often the best time. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.

What does TR19 inspection cost?

Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.

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.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
