TR19 inspection in Wokingham: how it works
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. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. The work covers wet film thickness tests, access surveys and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and sections of duct that can’t be reached.
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.

Kitchen extracts across Wokingham
In Wokingham, a busy kitchen in a place such as Reading, Woodley and Earley and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. 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 across Wokingham do not have to lose a day.
Reading: A kitchen near Reading West station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Nations Christian Centre or elsewhere in Reading, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Design faults in the extract system
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so we check there.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Common problems we fix in Wokingham
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
How we price TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Common questions in Wokingham
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and photos. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Which accreditations do you hold?
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.
Do you cover Wokingham?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Wokingham.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
