- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Remenham Hill
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Remenham Hill and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. Common call-outs are for confirming a clean reached the whole system and missing TR19 certificates or history, on deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests.
Somewhere as small as Remenham Hill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the TR19 inspection, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Visits to a village like Remenham Hill are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

TR19 inspection around Remenham Hill
Look up Remenham Hill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 47 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 9 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Remenham Hill. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Remenham Hill sits within the area of Oxfordshire 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. In Remenham Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wokingham council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Rupert House School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Marlow Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Remenham Hill, about 5.1 miles north-east. Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Remenham Hill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

FAQs for Remenham Hill
Can the work in Remenham Hill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Remenham Hill keeps running as normal. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Can a school canteen extract in Remenham Hill be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Remenham Hill, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.

Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

Yes. Our technicians work in Remenham Hill, within the South East and London area we cover.
