About our TR19 inspection in Chalvey
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. The work covers deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys, and people most often call us about pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and sections of duct that can’t be reached.
In a smaller place like Chalvey, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. 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.

TR19 inspection in Chalvey: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 18 pubs, bars and clubs and about 10 hotels and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Chalvey. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in Chalvey get their food hygiene inspections from Slough council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Chalvey is 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.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Upton Hospital is the nearest hospital to Chalvey, about 0.7 miles east. Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Chalvey, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Near you in Chalvey
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Moon and Spoon pub, Westgate School and Herschel Park. For rail, the closest station is Slough station, roughly 0.9 miles north-east. Other landmarks nearby include Windsor Castle (1.6 miles south) and Upton Hospital (0.7 miles east). For a walk, there’s Burnham Beeches and Taplow Lake.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Chalvey
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
If you cook for passing trade around Slough station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Chalvey: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Chalvey?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Chalvey is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Chalvey be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Chalvey?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, before anyone starts cleaning. Any access problems are flagged so they can be sorted first.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Visits to a place like Chalvey are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- 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 pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, as grease can build up there too.
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
