TR19 inspection in Eastbury, done properly
Taking on a kitchen in Eastbury with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. Common call-outs are for missing TR19 certificates or history and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, on post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits.
For a kitchen in or near Eastbury, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Never cook with filters missing
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Diary the next grease test and clean
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Eastbury.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Related advice
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Eastbury
Food hygiene inspections in Eastbury are the job of West Berkshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Eastbury is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Whether the kitchen is in Eastbury itself or nearby, a TR19® clean covers the whole system, canopy to discharge.

FAQs for Eastbury
Do you work at weekends in Eastbury?

Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Eastbury?
Kitchens in Eastbury are inspected by West Berkshire council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
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.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What we are called out for in Eastbury
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so panels can be fitted.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
Where a hall near Church of St James, or anywhere in Eastbury, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
