TR19 Inspection in The Warren
TR19 inspections, grease thickness testing, pre-clean surveys and post-clean verification for commercial sites in The Warren and across Bracknell Forest. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Diary the next grease test and clean
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
TR19 inspection in The Warren
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in The Warren and the rest of Bracknell Forest. Typical jobs include kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, on insurer audits, access surveys and deposit thickness tests.
In a smaller place like The Warren, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What else we do in The Warren
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
What you pay reflects the actual work. 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 photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the TR19 inspection, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Everything the job in The Warren needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

Multi-site and managed buildings
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
The Warren kitchens: local notes
Look up The Warren on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 15 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 12 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central The Warren. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Environmental health officers from Bracknell Forest council inspect food businesses in The Warren. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The Warren sits within the area of Royal Berkshire 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Heatherwood Hospital about 1.6 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Paul or elsewhere in The Warren, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For kitchens close to Martins Heron station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
The Warren is about 1 mile east of Bracknell, in Bracknell Forest. Whether your site is in the middle of The Warren or further out, we cover TR19 inspection for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. The Warren is one of 41 places in Bracknell Forest we cover for TR19 inspection. You can also see our page for Reading, roughly 11 miles from The Warren.

Around The Warren
Around The Warren, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near LVS Ascot and Ranelagh School and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in The Warren itself: Martins Heron station. Well-known places in the area include Heatherwood Hospital (1.6 miles east) and The Lexicon (1.5 miles north-west). The countryside around The Warren includes Heath Lake and Wildmoor Heath.
Why it’s worth doing now in The Warren
Sites in The Warren that have never measured grease cannot tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Around The Warren, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
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 play a part.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in The Warren
Do you work overnight in The Warren?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in The Warren does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in The Warren?
Food hygiene inspections in The Warren are carried out by Bracknell Forest council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
What is grease thickness testing?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
