TR19 inspection in Frogmill
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. We’re often asked to deal with missing access panels found on survey and missing TR19 certificates or history, across pre-clean surveys, access surveys and wet film thickness tests.
Somewhere as small as Frogmill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Frogmill kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 hotels and B&Bs across Frogmill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Frogmill is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Frogmill get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Frogmill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Marlow Community Hospital about 3.2 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How we price TR19 inspection
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Design faults in the extract system
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Frogmill
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Frogmill (Harleyford Manor is about 1 mile north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Frogmill
Will you come out to Frogmill?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Frogmill included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire authority looks after Frogmill?
Fire safety enforcement in Frogmill is handled by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. The results are given in microns.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system, and we clear up before we go. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Frogmill run smoothly.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
