How we handle TR19 inspection in Hanworth
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. If you are dealing with kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and parts of the system left out of past cleans, we can put it right.
Kitchens around a place like Hanworth are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Your opening hours decide when we come to Hanworth, not ours.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
TR19 inspection in Hanworth: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Hanworth 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. Environmental health officers from Bracknell Forest council inspect food businesses in Hanworth. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Hanworth 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church or elsewhere in Hanworth, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like The Pines School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so access is planned in advance.
Why deal with it now?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you won’t know without measuring. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures

Hanworth: your questions answered
Can you work in Hanworth outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Hanworth does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hanworth?
Hanworth is in the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
When to call us in Hanworth
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Look out for any of the following:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Missing access panels found on survey
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Pinewood Hospital about 1.5 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Design faults in the extract system
