TR19 Inspection in Riseley
Looking for TR19 inspection in Riseley? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Riseley and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

How we handle TR19 inspection in Riseley
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. Typical jobs include confirming a clean reached the whole system and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, across insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests.
Work in a small place like Riseley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Riseley
Do you work at weekends in Riseley?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Riseley keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in villages like Riseley?
Yes, Riseley is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. The results are given in microns.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning right away.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, photos and any inaccessible areas. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Riseley
Grease is fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Riseley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Before booking anyone
- What insurance they carry
- What hours they’ll be on site
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the quote shows VAT
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Fire safety in Riseley falls to 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.

A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
