How we handle TR19 inspection in Beedon
Taking on a kitchen in Beedon with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers access surveys, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit.
In a village or hamlet like Beedon, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Beedon?
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
School kitchens, at schools like Beedon C.E. (Controlled) Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether they’re fully insured
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Beedon
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
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 pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Visits to a village like Beedon are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Related advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Leave it or put it right?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Beedon
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Beedon. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. About 52 miles out from central London, Beedon is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Beedon, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Beedon questions
Do you cover smaller places like Beedon?
Yes. Beedon is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in Beedon?
The local authority for Beedon is West Berkshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
