TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Midgham Green
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. We’re often asked to deal with insurers asking for TR19 evidence and uncertainty over how often to clean, on pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests.
In a small place like Midgham Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays to avoid disruption.
How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Midgham Green.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
Why deal with it now?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. In a small place like Midgham Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
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.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on in Midgham Green

Questions from Midgham Green
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Midgham Green?
Midgham Green is in the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you cover smaller places like Midgham Green?
Yes. Midgham Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Midgham Green
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
For kitchens close to Midgham station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Grease, kitchens and Midgham Green

Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Midgham Green. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Midgham Green get their food hygiene inspections from West Berkshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
