What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
TR19 inspection in Burnham
Taking on a kitchen in Burnham with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. If you have heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, we can help.
Around a smaller place like Burnham, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Grease, kitchens and Burnham
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 12 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 5 hotels and guest houses in Burnham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Burnham falls to 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. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Burnham. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Burnham is Upton Hospital, about 3.3 miles south-east. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Peter's Church or anywhere around Burnham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Common questions in Burnham
Do you work in villages like Burnham?
Yes, Burnham is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work overnight in Burnham?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Burnham keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, photos, access and a recommended cleaning interval. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Burnham and across Slough. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. In a place like Burnham, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
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 can’t be reached, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Burnham
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
If you cook for passing trade around Burnham station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
How we price TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so the base is a key test point.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
