How we handle TR19 inspection in Littlewick Green
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Littlewick Green and across Windsor and Maidenhead a clear record of the system’s condition. If you have systems that need surveying before cleaning and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, we can help, from post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
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.
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, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. It’s simpler to plan the work at Littlewick Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Keep the route to access panels clear
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Littlewick Green
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Grease, kitchens and Littlewick Green
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Littlewick Green, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Food hygiene inspections in Littlewick Green are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Littlewick Green is 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Saint John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Littlewick Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Common questions in Littlewick Green
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Littlewick Green during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Littlewick Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 7 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Littlewick Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Littlewick Green is handled by 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.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, by WFTT or DTT. Each reading is recorded in microns.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
When to call us in Littlewick Green
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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Missing access panels found on survey
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Mark's Hospital (about 2.2 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they recommend a next date
- If they look at the system before pricing
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. In a small place like Littlewick Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
