TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Cox Green
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. Common call-outs are for extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and extracts that have never been grease tested, across post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests.
Around a smaller place like Cox Green, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Leave it or put it right?
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, and the quote reflects the real job. A planned visit to Cox Green fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why us?
- Trading since 2009
- We diagnose before we treat
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- One number for every site across the South East and London

FAQs for Cox Green
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Cox Green out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 27 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Cox Green. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work at weekends in Cox Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Cox Green needn’t be disturbed. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
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, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Cox Green
The Food Standards Agency lists about 17 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses in and around Cox Green, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Cox Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Cox Green 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Wessex Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Mark's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Cox Green, about 1.2 miles north.

When to call us in Cox Green
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
What we are most often called out for:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Cox Green (Dorney Court is about 3.2 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.

- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Cox Green

- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule

- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
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 any work starts.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

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, you get a fixed price before we start.
