How we handle TR19 inspection in Farnham Royal
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. If you are dealing with kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, we can put it right, from deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and wet film thickness tests onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Farnham Royal, 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, 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.
What we’re called out for in Farnham Royal
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
School kitchens, at schools like St Mary's Farnham Royal CofE Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Farnham Royal.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Farnham Royal
Is Farnham Royal within the area you cover?
Yes, Farnham Royal is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire authority looks after Farnham Royal?
Fire safety enforcement in Farnham Royal is handled by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so you do not have to close during trading.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, along with any actions needed.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
When it’s something else
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Mechanical faults in the extract
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests

What else we do in Farnham Royal
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Never cook with filters missing
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Flag oily drips near the extract
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Farnham Royal. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Farnham Royal falls to 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.
