TR19 inspection in Brockhill
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. The work covers insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and missing TR19 certificates or history.
For a kitchen in or near Brockhill, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself 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 Brockhill, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Bracknell Forest. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
TR19 inspection in Brockhill: the local picture
Fire safety in Brockhill falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. About 27 miles out from central London, Brockhill is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Historic houses near Brockhill, such as St Leonard's Hill about 3.4 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Heatherwood Hospital (about 2.4 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Common questions in Brockhill
Can you get to a site in Brockhill?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Brockhill is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Brockhill?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Brockhill needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How much time does an inspection need?
As a guide, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.

What happens if it’s left?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, before the next clean is due. A fault that closes a site in a village like Brockhill affects everyone who depends on it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

When to call us in Brockhill
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Brockhill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
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.
