TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Grazeley
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Grazeley and across West Berkshire a clear record of the system’s condition. Common call-outs are for parts of the system left out of past cleans and sites with gaps in their extract records, across access surveys, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks.
For a kitchen in or near Grazeley, 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’ve 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 carry full insurance.

Grazeley questions
Can the work in Grazeley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Grazeley can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Grazeley?
Food hygiene inspections in Grazeley are carried out by Wokingham council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
We suggest a next test date in every report, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Grazeley
Without readings, you are guessing when to clean. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Grazeley rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

- 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.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.

TR19 inspection in Grazeley: the local picture
Food hygiene inspections in Grazeley are the job of Wokingham council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. About 39 miles out from central London, Grazeley is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
A hospital like Royal Berkshire Hospital, about 4 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Stratfield Saye House is about 3.3 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Grazeley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Grazeley is about 4 miles south of Reading, in West Berkshire. From the centre of Grazeley to the outskirts, we cover TR19 inspection for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. Our West Berkshire coverage runs to 155 places, Grazeley among them.
All of RG7 is covered for TR19 inspection, from the main roads to the quietest streets. If you need TR19 inspection at premises on Mereoak Lane, Church Lane and Mortimer Road or a nearby road, we can help. We also cover the places around Grazeley: Spencers Wood (1 mile east), Beech Hill (2 miles south), Swallowfield (2 miles south-east), Riseley (3 miles south-east) and Heckfield Heath (4 miles south-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Newbury (14 miles west), Thatcham (11 miles west), Burghfield Common (3 miles west), Speenhamland (14 miles west), Calcot (4 miles north-west) and Shaw (14 miles west).
Local landmarks in Grazeley
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Ryeish Green School, The Farriers Arms and Oakbank and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Reading Green Park station, about 2.1 miles north. Well-known places in the area include Thames Valley Police Museum (3.9 miles north-west) and Beaumys Castle (1.5 miles south-east). Not far away are Fobney Island Wetland Reserve and Longwater.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
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’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
