- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
About our TR19 inspection in Dorney
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. 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. If you are dealing with extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Dorney, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, out of sight of the kitchen.
TR19 inspection around Dorney
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 27 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 12 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Dorney, up to about a mile and a half out. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Food hygiene inspections in Dorney are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Dorney is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St James or elsewhere in Dorney, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Historic houses near Dorney, such as Dorney Court about 0.5 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Upton Hospital (about 2.7 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Dorney
Will you come out to Dorney?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Dorney included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can school kitchens in Dorney be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 5 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Dorney, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted ahead of the clean.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Why it’s worth doing now in Dorney
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. In a place like Dorney, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Dorney.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
