FAQs for Burnt Hill
Will you come out to Burnt Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Burnt Hill?
Food hygiene inspections in Burnt Hill are carried out by West Berkshire council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Why survey before a clean?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, as suits the job.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, along with any actions needed.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
TR19 inspection in Burnt Hill, done properly
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Burnt Hill and the rest of West Berkshire. The work covers pre-clean surveys, access surveys and insurer audits, and the jobs we see most are cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts.
Work in a small place like Burnt Hill starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Burnt Hill?
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
Historic houses near Burnt Hill, such as Basildon Park about 3.5 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
What your quote should include

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. We take readings there and photograph it as part of every survey.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. We test at points along the run through access panels.
How we price TR19 inspection
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. In a small place like Burnt Hill, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Diary the next grease test and clean
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
