About our TR19 inspection in Beech Hill
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 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. The work covers access surveys, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are sections of duct that can’t be reached and confirming a clean reached the whole system.
Somewhere as small as Beech Hill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Design faults in the extract system

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere like Beech Hill, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

What affects the quote in Beech Hill
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

Managing agents and facilities teams in Beech Hill
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Beech Hill
When a site in Beech Hill changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Stratfield Saye House is about 1.7 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether VAT is included
How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
Kitchen extracts in Beech Hill
Fire safety in Beech Hill falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Beech Hill, about 40 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
For schools such as Lambs Lane Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

FAQs for Beech Hill
Which fire service covers Beech Hill?
Beech Hill is in the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can the work in Beech Hill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Beech Hill needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, with recommendations where something needs doing.
Do you cover Beech Hill?
Yes. Our technicians work in Beech Hill, within the South East and London area we cover.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
An inspection takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Sites with several canopies take longer, and you can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form to book it in.
What is grease thickness testing?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
Why survey before a clean?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
