TR19 inspection in Goddard's Green, done properly
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. 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. Common call-outs are for pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and missing TR19 certificates or history, across deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and access surveys.
In a village or hamlet like Goddard's Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Goddard's Green questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Goddard's Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Goddard's Green 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.
Can the work in Goddard's Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning right away.
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.
Is Goddard's Green in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Goddard's Green, within the South East and London area we cover.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
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.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Goddard's Green
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
For schools such as Garland Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What to look for in a quote
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so the base is a key test point.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere as small as Goddard's Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
