TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Sunningdale
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. Common call-outs are for extracts that have never been grease tested and sites with gaps in their extract records, on post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Sunningdale gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Sunningdale
Which fire authority looks after Sunningdale?
Fire safety enforcement in Sunningdale is handled by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work in villages like Sunningdale?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so it can be fixed before the clean.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Grease, kitchens and Sunningdale
Food Standards Agency data counts about 29 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Sunningdale. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Sunningdale. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council inspect food businesses in Sunningdale. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Heatherwood Hospital (about 2.3 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like Holy Trinity CofE Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you cook for passing trade around Sunningdale station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Sunningdale
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
How we price TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Everything the job in Sunningdale needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
