TR19 inspection in Nuptown
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. The work covers access surveys, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests, and people most often call us about parts of the system left out of past cleans and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records.
For a kitchen in or near Nuptown, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Nuptown
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (St Leonard's Hill is about 3.5 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Questions from Nuptown
Which fire service covers Nuptown?
Fire safety enforcement in Nuptown is handled by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. 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 get to a site in Nuptown?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Nuptown is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
When should we have our next grease test?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we’ll set the report out to match.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
Why survey before a clean?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll plan the visit around them.
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Nuptown and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Get a fixed quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
Kitchen extracts in Nuptown
At about 27 miles from central London, Nuptown sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Kitchens in Nuptown get their food hygiene inspections from Bracknell Forest council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Nuptown, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Heatherwood Hospital about 3.5 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Nuptown is about 3 miles north of Bracknell, in Bracknell Forest.
