West Berkshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Fair Cross TR19 inspection
Our technicians work in Fair Cross on TR19 inspection. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
TR19 inspection in Fair Cross, done properly
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you’re dealing with checking the result of a recent clean and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Fair Cross starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Fair Cross can be planned properly.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

FAQs for Fair Cross
Do you work in villages like Fair Cross?
Yes. Fair Cross is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come to Fair Cross after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Fair Cross keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, before anyone starts cleaning. Any access problems are flagged ahead of the clean.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® isn’t law; it’s BESA’s specification. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How often should grease be tested?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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.
Kitchen extracts in Fair Cross
There are about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Fair Cross and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Food hygiene inspections in Fair Cross are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fair Cross sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St. Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Fair Cross, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Fair Cross is about 6 miles east of Tadley, in West Berkshire.

Our area takes in 155 places across West Berkshire, from busy centres to quieter spots. We also work in Reading, around 6 miles away.

Common problems we fix in Fair Cross
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, so those sections can be skipped time and again. An inspection of a system in Fair Cross shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Stratfield Saye House is about 0.7 miles south), access may need planning.
