TR19 inspection in Dorney Reach, done properly
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you have post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and sections of duct that can’t be reached, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens if it’s left?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

What staff can safely do
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
When to call us in Dorney Reach
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Dorney School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether they’re fully insured
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- File every inspection report with your certificates
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Dorney Reach.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.

Dorney Reach questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Dorney Reach?
Food hygiene inspections in Dorney Reach are carried out by Buckinghamshire council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire authority looks after Dorney Reach?
Dorney Reach is in the area of 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.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Why survey before a clean?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Any access problems are flagged ahead of the clean.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. We show your readings against those figures.

What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
How we price TR19 inspection
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
TR19 inspection around Dorney Reach
Food Standards Agency records list about 21 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways in Dorney Reach and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Dorney Reach sits within the area of 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. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Dorney Reach. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St James or elsewhere in Dorney Reach, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Mark's Hospital about 3.1 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
