TR19 inspections and grease testing in Eversley, Wokingham
TR19 inspections, grease thickness testing, pre-clean surveys and post-clean verification for commercial sites in Eversley and across Wokingham. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.

- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
How we handle TR19 inspection in Eversley
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. The work covers post-clean checks, access surveys and deposit thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are extracts that have never been grease tested and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean.
For a kitchen in or near Eversley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Eversley
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Eversley
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Eversley questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Eversley?
Food hygiene inspections in Eversley are carried out by Wokingham council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Eversley during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Eversley. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Is Eversley in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Eversley, within the South East and London area we cover.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, before anyone starts cleaning. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It works whoever carried out the clean.

Leave it or put it right?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. With notice, the visit to Eversley can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. We take readings there and photograph it as part of every survey.
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Eversley before we set off.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; 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 any work starts.
Related advice
Do you need TR19 inspection in Eversley?
When a site in Eversley changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records do not always follow. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Stratfield Saye House is about 4.7 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the figure could change on the day
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Eversley
At about 36 miles from central London, Eversley sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Environmental health officers from Wokingham council inspect food businesses in Eversley. 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Eversley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
