About our TR19 inspection in Bury's Bank
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. Common call-outs are for confirming a clean reached the whole system and sections of duct that can’t be reached, across pre-clean surveys, access surveys and wet film thickness tests.
Work in a small place like Bury's Bank starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
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. Leave those to us.
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.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. In a small place like Bury's Bank, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Why it’s worth doing now in Bury's Bank
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, before the next clean is due. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Bury's Bank rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Berkshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

FAQs for Bury's Bank
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Bury's Bank in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Bury's Bank. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Bury's Bank?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Bury's Bank. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can you quote from photos?
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 notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
A post-clean check records grease readings and pictures after the work, whoever did the clean.
Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so we check there.

Grease, kitchens and Bury's Bank
Look up Bury's Bank on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 12 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Bury's Bank. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Food hygiene inspections in Bury's Bank are the job of West Berkshire council’s environmental health team. 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. The fire and rescue service for Bury's Bank is 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Bury's Bank, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. School kitchens, at schools like The Willows Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; West Berkshire Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Bury's Bank, about 1.6 miles north.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
