What affects the quote in Broomhall

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

  • The times the site is available
  • How easy every part is to reach
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule

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’ll price it together.

What we need to know

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

TR19 inspection in Broomhall

A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the clean can be planned properly. We are often asked to deal with ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, across wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys.

In a smaller place like Broomhall, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.

Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Honest limits

Some problems need a different service or another trade:

  • Design faults in the extract system
  • Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
  • Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit

Common questions in Broomhall

Do you cover smaller places like Broomhall?

Yes. Broomhall is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

Can you come to Broomhall after we close?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Broomhall needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?

Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.

What does a pre-clean survey involve?

The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. It lets us plan the clean and give you a fixed quote.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.

Is TR19 cleaning the law?

No, TR19® isn’t legislation. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.

What do you need from me for a quote?

The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.

How often should grease be tested?

We suggest a next test date in every report, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.

Broomhall kitchens: local notes

The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and B&Bs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Broomhall. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Broomhall sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Broomhall get their food hygiene inspections from Windsor and Maidenhead council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Heatherwood Hospital (about 2.7 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like Sunningdale School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Between visits

Once we have finished, these simple steps help:

  • Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
  • Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
  • Keep access panels clear and unpainted
  • Diary the next grease test and clean

For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.

Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.

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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.

The process

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. From there, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Broomhall.

  1. Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
  2. We open the access points used on the clean.
  3. We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
  4. We photograph each area to record how it was left.
  5. The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

How the job changes from site to site

Canopy and plenum

Clean-looking filters don’t mean a clean plenum. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.

Restaurants, pubs and hotels

Heavy use under BESA guidance, 12 to 16 hours a day, means a clean at least every 3 months, and readings show whether that’s enough.

When to call us in Broomhall

Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Confirming a clean reached the whole system
  • Parts of the system left out of past cleans
  • Sites with gaps in their extract records
  • Insurers asking for TR19 evidence

A kitchen near Sunningdale station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

What to look for in a quote

  • How they set the interval to the next visit
  • What records you’ll receive afterwards
  • Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
  • Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
