Slough · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Stoke Poges TR19 inspection
TR19 inspection for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Stoke Poges. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
How the visit works
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 pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Tell us when your site near Stoke Poges is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

TR19 inspection in Stoke Poges, done properly
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. Typical jobs include kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and extracts that have never been grease tested, on post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Stoke Poges gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Stoke Poges
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What we’re called out for in Stoke Poges
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Wexham Park Hospital about 1 mile south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Stoke Poges kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 9 pubs, bars and clubs across Stoke Poges and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stoke Poges. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Stoke Poges. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
School kitchens, at schools like The Stoke Poges School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Andrew's Church Centre or anywhere around Stoke Poges, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Never cook with filters missing
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Stoke Poges
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Stoke Poges in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Stoke Poges. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Will you come out to Stoke Poges?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we will set the report out to match.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.

What happens if it’s left?
If a kitchen in Stoke Poges has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. In a smaller place like Stoke Poges, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
