TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Green Park
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. Typical jobs include confirming a clean reached the whole system and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, on insurer audits, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests.
In a small place like Green Park, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. The timing of a visit to Green Park is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

TR19 inspection in Green Park: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses across Green Park and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Green Park are the job of Reading council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Green Park is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Where a hall near St Paul's Church, or anywhere in Green Park, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as Whitley Park Primary and Nursery School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Green Park is about 2 miles south of Reading, in Reading. Whether your site is in the middle of Green Park or further out, TR19 inspection is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates. Across Reading, we cover 34 places, Green Park among them.

When to call us in Green Park
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal Berkshire Hospital (about 2.3 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Common questions in Green Park
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Green Park?
Fire safety enforcement in Green Park 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.
Will you come out to Green Park?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.
What affects the quote in Green Park
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, as grease can build up there too.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
