When to call us in Clewer
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
Where a hall near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Clewer, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Before you book anyone
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they recommend a next date
How we handle TR19 inspection in Clewer
Taking on a kitchen in Clewer with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. Typical jobs include cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and parts of the system left out of past cleans, on deposit thickness tests, access surveys and wet film thickness tests.
For a smaller kitchen near Clewer, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Clewer
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive 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 an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. We plan the journey to Clewer and bring what the job is likely to need.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Related advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
What else we do in Clewer
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so it can be fixed before the clean.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Clewer questions
Do you cover smaller places like Clewer?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Clewer?
That’s Windsor and Maidenhead council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Clewer. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Why survey before a clean?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, whether that is late evening, overnight or a weekend.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
