- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
Do you need TR19 inspection in Stubbings?
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St. James the Less or elsewhere in Stubbings, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Before booking anyone

- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether a written report and photos are included
TR19 inspection in Stubbings, done properly
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Stubbings and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and access surveys, and people most often call us about sections of duct that can’t be reached and insurers asking for TR19 evidence.
Somewhere as small as Stubbings, 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What staff can safely do
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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
TR19 inspection around Stubbings
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Stubbings, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Stubbings is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Stubbings get their food hygiene inspections from Windsor and Maidenhead council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Historic houses near Stubbings, such as Harleyford Manor about 2.2 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. School kitchens, at schools like Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What TR19 inspection cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Stubbings
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
Why deal with it now?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Stubbings
Who is the fire and rescue service for Stubbings?
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Stubbings. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stubbings?
That is Windsor and Maidenhead council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Stubbings. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so it matters in practice.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Stubbings?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
How often should grease be tested?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How we price TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Somewhere like Stubbings, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
