TR19 inspections and grease testing in Myrke, Slough
TR19 inspection in Myrke from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
TR19 inspection in Myrke
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 Myrke and across Slough a clear record of the system’s condition. If you are dealing with systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and uncertainty over how often to clean, we can put it right, from insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, 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.

Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so it can be fixed before the clean.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
Kitchen extracts in Myrke
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 25 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 12 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in Myrke and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Slough council inspect food businesses in Myrke. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Myrke is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you cook for passing trade around Slough station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Long Close School or anywhere near Myrke, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Myrke?
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
What we are most often called out for:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
Where a hall near Church of St Laurence, or anywhere in Myrke, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the quote shows VAT
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:

- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system

Managing agents and facilities teams in Myrke
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. In a small place like Myrke, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

What affects the quote in Myrke
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Travel, parking and unloading
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- 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
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Myrke
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Myrke?
Myrke is in the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you work in Myrke outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Myrke needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. We show your readings against those figures.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What is post-clean verification?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
