Coley Park: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Coley Park?
Fire safety enforcement in Coley Park is handled by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Coley Park?
That is Reading council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Coley Park. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we will survey first.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Coley Park?
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.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Coley Park
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. The work covers insurer audits, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean.
For a smaller kitchen near Coley Park, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Coley Park kitchens: local notes
There are about 246 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 64 takeaways across Coley Park and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Kitchens in Coley Park get their food hygiene inspections from Reading council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Coley Park 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near All Nations Christian Centre or anywhere around Coley Park, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you cook for passing trade around Reading West station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- 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
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What happens if it’s left?
If a kitchen in Coley Park has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Even a site near Coley Park that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Common problems we fix in Coley Park
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
For schools such as St Mary & All Saints Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether a survey comes first
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a site near Coley Park, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- 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
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Part by part
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so the base is a key test point.
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
