Kitchen extracts in Fifield
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Fifield. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Fifield. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Fifield falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Fifield is King Edward VII Hospital, about 3.4 miles east. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Braywood CofE First School or anywhere near Fifield, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

TR19 inspection in Fifield, done properly
Taking on a kitchen in Fifield with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers access surveys, post-clean checks and wet film thickness tests, and people most often call us about extracts that have never been grease tested and checking the result of a recent clean.
In a village or hamlet like Fifield, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. We record what can and can’t be reached.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so the kitchen keeps cooking.
How we price TR19 inspection
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
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 get going, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Fifield
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, so those sections can be skipped time and again. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so the gaps can be closed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Fifield (Dorney Court is about 1.7 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Questions to ask before you book
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When the next visit should be, and why
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
How it 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. From there, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Fifield.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
FAQs for Fifield
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Fifield in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 8 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Fifield. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Fifield?
Yes, Fifield is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll book around them.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
What is grease thickness testing?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
