TR19 inspection in Brightwalton Green
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. The work covers insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are checking the result of a recent clean and missing TR19 certificates or history.
In a small place like Brightwalton Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in Brightwalton Green
Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Never cook with filters missing
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
Brightwalton Green questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Brightwalton Green?
That’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work in villages like Brightwalton Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Brightwalton Green included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. 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?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
How we price TR19 inspection
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
- A single visit or a regular plan
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
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, which is where we come in.
What we are called out for in Brightwalton Green
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Brightwalton Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What to look for in a quote
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What insurance they carry
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Brightwalton Green knowing what to expect.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
