About our TR19 inspection in Holloway
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Holloway and across Windsor and Maidenhead a clear record of the system’s condition. The work covers wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and access surveys, and the jobs we see most are insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed.
In a small place like Holloway, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Holloway kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Holloway. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Holloway, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Holloway 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Saint John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Holloway, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School or anywhere near Holloway, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hospital like St Mark's Hospital, about 1.8 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Holloway is about 2 miles west of Maidenhead, in Windsor and Maidenhead. Every kind of commercial site in Holloway, we can take on TR19 inspection. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. Holloway is one of 57 places in Windsor and Maidenhead where we work for TR19 inspection.

What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. We test at points along the run through access panels.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a village like Holloway are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
Questions from Holloway
Who inspects food businesses in Holloway?
Kitchens in Holloway are inspected by Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can school kitchens in Holloway be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 9 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Holloway, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
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.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
