TR19 inspection in Beenham Stocks
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. The work covers insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks, and common reasons people get in touch are checking the result of a recent clean and missing TR19 certificates or history.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Beenham Stocks
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Grease, kitchens and Beenham Stocks
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Beenham Stocks, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Beenham Stocks get their food hygiene inspections from West Berkshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Beenham Stocks is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
School kitchens, at schools like Beenham Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

FAQs for Beenham Stocks
Can the work in Beenham Stocks be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Beenham Stocks needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Beenham Stocks?
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Beenham Stocks. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you cover Beenham Stocks?
Yes. We work in Beenham Stocks and across West Berkshire, within our South East and London area. To book, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted ahead of the clean.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. For a village or hamlet like Beenham Stocks, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
What happens if it’s left?
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, and the quote reflects the real job. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

What we are called out for in Beenham Stocks
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, which is why readings matter.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Beenham Stocks, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the figure could change on the day
