West Berkshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 inspections and grease testing in Bishop's Green, West Berkshire
Our technicians work in Bishop's Green on TR19 inspections and grease testing. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos as standard.
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, 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. Somewhere like Bishop's Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Bishop's Green
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers deposit thickness tests, access surveys and wet film thickness tests, and people most often call us about ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and surveys needed before quoting a full clean.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Questions from Bishop's Green
Who inspects food businesses in Bishop's Green?
In Bishop's Green, it’s Basingstoke and Deane council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Bishop's Green?
Bishop's Green is in the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so following it is the sensible course.
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.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bishop's Green
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, before the next clean is due. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Bishop's Green is calmer for everyone.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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.

When to call us in Bishop's Green
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Shaw House is about 3.6 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
