TR19 inspection in Farley Hill, done properly
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you have systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, we can put it right, from wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Farley Hill, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Farley Hill
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Farley Hill questions
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Farley Hill in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Farley Hill, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can the work in Farley Hill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Farley Hill doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What is post-clean verification?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It works whoever carried out the clean.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How often should grease be tested?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, photos and any inaccessible areas. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Common problems we fix in Farley Hill
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Wokingham Hospital is the nearest hospital to Farley Hill, about 3.9 miles north-east.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the price is fixed

Why it’s worth doing now in Farley Hill
Sites in Farley Hill that have never measured grease cannot tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
