TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Ryeish Green
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Ryeish Green and across West Berkshire a clear record of the system’s condition. The work covers wet film thickness tests, access surveys and pre-clean surveys, and people most often call us about post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts.
Somewhere as small as Ryeish Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Ryeish Green before we set off.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
How to prepare

Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Ryeish Green
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Leave it or put it right?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, before the next clean is due. If the system at a site near Ryeish Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Common problems we fix in Ryeish Green
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.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Ryeish Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What records you will receive afterwards
