TR19 Inspection in Ashampstead Green
TR19 inspection for Ashampstead Green, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Ashampstead Green
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. Typical jobs include confirming a clean reached the whole system and missing TR19 certificates or history, on wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks.
Somewhere as small as Ashampstead Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Common problems we fix in Ashampstead Green
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
Where a hall near Church of St Clement, or anywhere in Ashampstead Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Proof of insurance
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- How VAT is shown on the quote

- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.

Advice
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Ashampstead Green: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Ashampstead Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Ashampstead Green included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Ashampstead Green?
In Ashampstead Green, it’s West Berkshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ashampstead Green

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
