About our TR19 inspection in Quelm Park
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. Common call-outs are for pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, across deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and access surveys.
For a smaller kitchen near Quelm Park, 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, ready for your insurer.

What affects the quote in Quelm Park
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Never cook with filters missing
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. In a smaller place like Quelm Park, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Why book with us
- In business since 2009
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Full insurance on every job

Grease, kitchens and Quelm Park
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 66 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 19 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Quelm Park. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Environmental health officers from Bracknell Forest council inspect food businesses in Quelm Park. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Quelm Park sits within the area of 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Andrew or elsewhere in Quelm Park, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Heatherwood Hospital, about 3 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like Sandy Lane Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Quelm Park: your questions answered
Can a school canteen extract in Quelm Park be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Quelm Park, the Food Standards Agency lists about 10 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work overnight in Quelm Park?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Quelm Park does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How much time does an inspection need?
An inspection takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Large or multiple systems take longer, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will plan it.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
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 set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Quelm Park.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. Readings and photos are taken in the plenum as part of every survey.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- A faulty or failing extract fan
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
