TR19 inspection in Shurlock Row, done properly
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Shurlock Row and the rest of Wokingham. Typical jobs include sites with gaps in their extract records and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, across wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and insurer audits.
Somewhere as small as Shurlock Row, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price TR19 inspection
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Shurlock Row questions
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Shurlock Row during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Shurlock Row. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Shurlock Row?
That’s Windsor and Maidenhead council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Shurlock Row. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you cover Shurlock Row?
Yes. We work in Shurlock Row and across Wokingham, within our South East and London area. To book, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so following it is the sensible course.

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
