TR19 inspection in Littleworth Corner
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Littleworth Corner and across Slough a clear record of the system’s condition. If you’re dealing with cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean, we can help.
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.
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.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

Advice
Common questions in Littleworth Corner
Do you work in villages like Littleworth Corner?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Littleworth Corner is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Littleworth Corner outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so following it is the sensible course.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
How long does grease testing take?
It takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
When to call us in Littleworth Corner
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Anne or anywhere around Littleworth Corner, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Book the next test on the date in the report
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
