FAQs for New Town
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in New Town during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of New Town, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work at weekends in New Town?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in New Town needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How long does grease testing take?
An inspection takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Sites with several canopies take longer, and you can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email to book it in.
What accreditations do you have?
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.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Why survey before a clean?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
About our TR19 inspection in New Town
Before any clean in New Town, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. The work covers post-clean checks, insurer audits and access surveys, and people most often call us about confirming a clean reached the whole system and missing access panels found on survey.
In a village or hamlet like New Town, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Do you need TR19 inspection in New Town?
Grease is 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.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Missing access panels found on survey
Basildon Park, about 1.4 miles north, is one of the historic houses near New Town; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Grease, kitchens and New Town
About 44 miles out from central London, New Town is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. The fire and rescue service for New Town is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For schools such as Basildon C.E. Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Stephen's Church or anywhere around New Town, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
New Town is about 7 miles west of Reading, in Oxfordshire. If you need TR19 inspection in New Town, please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us for a fixed quote. We work across South East England and London, New Town included. New Town is one of 443 towns, villages and districts in Oxfordshire where we work for TR19 inspection. Our Reading page covers sites nearby (7 miles or so).
Work in RG8 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. You’ll find streets such as Wakemans and Pangbourne Road, all of which we cover for TR19 inspection. We also cover the places around New Town: Upper Basildon (1 mile north-west), Stubbles (2 miles west), Burnt Hill (3 miles west), Ashampstead (3 miles west) and Ashampstead Green (3 miles west).

Near you in New Town
Around New Town, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Beehive pub and St Andrew's School, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Pangbourne station, roughly 1.6 miles east. Well-known places in the area include Yattendon Castle (3.5 miles west) and Battle Hospital (5.7 miles east). For a walk, there’s Hosehill Lake and Hartslock.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Leave it or put it right?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in New Town a current picture. Somewhere as small as New Town, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

How we price TR19 inspection
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- What state the system is in
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Somewhere like New Town, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
