TR19 inspection in Huntercombe
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and insurer audits, and people most often call us about sites with gaps in their extract records and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean.
In a smaller place like Huntercombe, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. A site near Huntercombe normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
When to call us in Huntercombe
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
If you cook for passing trade around Burnham station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether VAT is included
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether they’re fully insured
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Huntercombe
There are about 52 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 23 takeaways across Huntercombe and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Huntercombe. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Huntercombe are the job of Slough council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Andrew's Shared Church or anywhere around Huntercombe, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What a clean will not put right
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
Leave it or put it right?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, which you won’t know without measuring. In a smaller place like Huntercombe, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.

Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we will set the report out to match.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Readings show if the interval is right.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
