Englefield Green TR19 inspection
TR19 inspections and grease testing for commercial sites in Englefield Green and across Surrey. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
About our TR19 inspection in Englefield Green
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. The work covers access surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and sites with gaps in their extract records.
In a smaller place like Englefield Green, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Why it’s worth doing now in Englefield Green
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, before the next clean is due. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
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.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Englefield Green
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
The cost depends on how big the system is, 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
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.

Englefield Green kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 63 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 13 takeaways and sandwich shops across Englefield Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. It’s Runnymede council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Englefield Green. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Englefield Green falls to Surrey 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.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Englefield Green (Frogmore House is about 3.2 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Englefield Green is King Edward VII Hospital, about 3.6 miles north-west.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Englefield Green
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Englefield Green?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Englefield Green. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can school kitchens in Englefield Green be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Englefield Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 12 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Expect it to take a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, pictures and any inaccessible areas. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.

Advice
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
What we’re called out for in Englefield Green
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
Where a hall near Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, or anywhere in Englefield Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
