About our TR19 inspection in Home Farm
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. The work covers post-clean checks, access surveys and wet film thickness tests, and people most often call us about parts of the system left out of past cleans and sites with gaps in their extract records.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Home Farm questions
Can you get to a site in Home Farm?
Yes, Home Farm is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in Home Farm?
The local authority for Home Farm is Bracknell Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What is post-clean verification?
Verification means repeat readings and photos once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Somewhere as small as Home Farm, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Advice
When to call us in Home Farm
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Home Farm is Pinewood Hospital, about 0.7 miles south-west.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What paperwork you get at the end
Why act early in Home Farm
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. With notice, the visit to Home Farm can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Home Farm
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Kitchen extracts in Home Farm
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Home Farm. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Home Farm. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Home Farm, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Bracknell Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church or anywhere around Home Farm, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Wooden Hill Primary and Nursery School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
