TR19 inspection in Cookham, done properly
Before any clean in Cookham, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and grease readings are taken at set points. The work covers wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and post-clean checks, and the jobs we see most are missing access panels found on survey and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Cookham gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What happens if it’s left?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
TR19 inspection in Cookham: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 13 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Cookham. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Cookham are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Cookham is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Cookham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Marlow Community Hospital (about 2.1 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a café or takeaway near Cookham station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.

What else we do in Cookham
Managing agents and facilities teams in Cookham
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Questions from Cookham
Can you work in Cookham outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Is Cookham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. Each reading is recorded in microns.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
After a clean, we take new readings and pictures to show how the system was left. It works whoever carried out the clean.
How often should grease be tested?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Cookham, so let us know how to reach it.
- 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.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
