TR19 inspection for Cippenham and the surrounding area: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with photos. Ask us for a fixed quote.

- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
How we handle TR19 inspection in Cippenham
Before any clean in Cippenham, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. The work covers post-clean checks, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are uncertainty over how often to clean and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Cippenham gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- File every inspection report with your certificates
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
FAQs for Cippenham
Do you work at weekends in Cippenham?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Cippenham needn’t be disturbed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Cippenham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Cippenham included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What do the grease readings need to be?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. We show your readings against those figures.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- A faulty or failing extract fan
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Cippenham kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 14 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses in Cippenham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Cippenham get their food hygiene inspections from Slough council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Cippenham 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 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 Cippenham, about 2.1 miles east. Commuter trade near Burnham station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
How we price TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The scale of the work
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Common problems we fix in Cippenham
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so the gaps can be closed.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Missing access panels found on survey
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Cippenham Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What insurance they carry
