TR19 inspection in North Ascot, done properly
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. We are often asked to deal with insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean, on insurer audits, post-clean checks and wet film thickness tests.
For a smaller kitchen near North Ascot, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Everything the job in North Ascot needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area

Related advice
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so trading is not affected.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.

What happens if it’s left?
Sites in North Ascot that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Booking now means the visit to North Ascot is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

North Ascot questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for North Ascot?
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for North Ascot. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you come to North Ascot after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in North Ascot keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. It lets us plan the clean and give you a fixed quote.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in North Ascot?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.

North Ascot kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs and bars across North Ascot and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Bracknell Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in North Ascot. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in North Ascot falls to 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Heatherwood Hospital about 0.5 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Where a hall near Chapel of St Mary and St John, or anywhere in North Ascot, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as Ascot Heath Church of England Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
