How we handle TR19 inspection in Tickleback Row
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 pictures, for sites in Tickleback Row and the rest of Bracknell Forest. The work covers post-clean checks, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are uncertainty over how often to clean and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning.
Work in a small place like Tickleback Row starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Tickleback Row
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. We take readings there and photograph it on every inspection.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Why deal with it now?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. In a small place like Tickleback Row, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

What we’re called out for in Tickleback Row
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Heatherwood Hospital about 3.9 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Proof of insurance
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report

Common questions in Tickleback Row
Which council inspects kitchens in Tickleback Row?
In Tickleback Row, it’s Bracknell Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you get to a site in Tickleback Row?
Yes. Tickleback Row is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. We show your readings against those figures.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, whether that’s late evening, overnight or a weekend.
What types of premises do you cover?
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.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- File every inspection report with your certificates
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
Tickleback Row kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Tickleback Row. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Tickleback Row sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Tickleback Row, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Bracknell Forest council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Tickleback Row, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Tickleback Row (St Leonard's Hill is about 4.7 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
