Between visits

Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:

  • Diary the next grease test and clean
  • Keep the route to access panels clear
  • File every inspection report with your certificates
  • Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly

The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.

Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.

How we handle TR19 inspection in Streatley

Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. If you have kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, we can help.

In a small place like Streatley, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why it’s worth doing now in Streatley

Without readings, you are guessing when to clean. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, which you will not know without measuring. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Why Streatley businesses choose us

  • A written report with pictures after each visit
  • Full insurance on every job
  • Every job surveyed first
  • Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

The process

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Streatley run smoothly.

  1. First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
  2. The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
  3. Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
  4. Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
  5. We report back with readings and a fixed quote.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Ask for a quote

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Streatley

Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:

  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • The size of the system
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • Whether several sites go on one quote

What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

What we need to know

There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:

  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site

For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.

When it’s something else

We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:

  • Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
  • Hidden runs that need access panels first
  • Design faults in the extract system

Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Wet film thickness tests
  • Deposit thickness tests
  • Pre-clean surveys
  • Post-clean checks
  • Insurer audits
  • Access surveys

Managing agents and facilities teams in Streatley

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

TR19 inspection in Streatley: the local picture

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Streatley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. The fire and rescue service for Streatley is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Streatley are the job of West Berkshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

School kitchens, at schools like Streatley C.E. Voluntary Controlled School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Historic houses near Streatley, such as Basildon Park about 2.1 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

When to call us in Streatley

TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It is not legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.

If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:

  • Missing TR19 certificates or history
  • Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
  • Sections of duct that can’t be reached
  • Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen

If you run a café or takeaway near Goring & Streatley station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a written report and photos are included
  • Whether they recommend a next date
  • How VAT is shown on the quote
