How we handle TR19 inspection in Stanford Dingley
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you are dealing with missing TR19 certificates or history and checking the result of a recent clean, we can help, from post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests onwards.
Somewhere as small as Stanford Dingley, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What else we do in Stanford Dingley
Stanford Dingley questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Stanford Dingley?
Food hygiene inspections in Stanford Dingley are carried out by West Berkshire council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you come to Stanford Dingley after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Stanford Dingley can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you work in Stanford Dingley?
Yes. Stanford Dingley is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
How often should grease be tested?
We suggest a next test date in every report, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How much time does an inspection need?
It takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. The visit is timed so cooking isn’t disrupted.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Never cook with filters missing
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Stanford Dingley
We cover Stanford Dingley, about 47 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Stanford Dingley sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Basildon Park, about 4.5 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Stanford Dingley; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Denys, or anywhere in Stanford Dingley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as West Berkshire Community Hospital (about 5.7 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
- Any permits to work or inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Stanford Dingley knowing what to expect.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
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 can quote for the whole system.
Why act early in Stanford Dingley
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Stanford Dingley is calmer for everyone.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
