TR19 inspection in Priestwood, done properly
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. Typical jobs include insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and sections of duct that can’t be reached, across post-clean checks, access surveys and deposit thickness tests.
Kitchens around a place like Priestwood are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Priestwood
Can a school canteen extract in Priestwood be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Priestwood. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Priestwood?
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Priestwood. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. A site near Priestwood typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

What happens if it’s left?
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, and the quote reflects the real job. Light use slows the build-up but doesn’t stop it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Grease, kitchens and Priestwood
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 8 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Priestwood. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Priestwood 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. Environmental health officers from Bracknell Forest council inspect food businesses in Priestwood. 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.
A kitchen near Bracknell station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Priestwood is Pinewood Hospital, about 2.9 miles south-west.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Bracknell Forest. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Priestwood?
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Andrew or elsewhere in Priestwood, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
