- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
How we handle TR19 inspection in Farley Wood
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. The work covers wet film thickness tests, access surveys and post-clean checks, and the jobs we see most are systems that need surveying before cleaning and confirming a clean reached the whole system.
In a smaller place like Farley Wood, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What else we do in Farley Wood
Managing agents and facilities teams in Farley Wood
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Farley Wood can typically be finished without a second trip.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email 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 typically have a quote within one working day.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Farley Wood
The FSA’s data shows about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered in Farley Wood and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Farley Wood sits within the area of 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. It’s Bracknell Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Farley Wood. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Meadow Vale Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Pinewood Hospital is the nearest hospital to Farley Wood, about 2.4 miles south.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What affects the quote in Farley Wood
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Travel, parking and unloading
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Farley Wood
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Missing access panels found on survey
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mark, or anywhere in Farley Wood, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether they recommend a next date
