Slough Green TR19 inspection
TR19 inspection across Slough Green and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Slough Green can be planned properly.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

TR19 inspection in Slough Green
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. The work covers insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and access surveys, and people most often call us about extracts that have never been grease tested and insurers asking for TR19 evidence.
For a kitchen in or near Slough Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Slough Green questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Slough Green?
Kitchens in Slough Green are inspected by Mid Sussex council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire service covers Slough Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Slough Green is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Is Slough Green in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Slough Green included.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Why survey before a clean?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. We can work from photos and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Slough Green
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Tyes Place, about 1.3 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Slough Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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. Leave those to us.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
