About our TR19 inspection in Touchen-end
Taking on a kitchen in Touchen-end with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. If you have checking the result of a recent clean and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, we can put it right, from wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and post-clean checks onwards.
Somewhere as small as Touchen-end, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Flag oily drips near the extract
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.

Grease, kitchens and Touchen-end
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Touchen-end and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Fire safety in Touchen-end falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Touchen-end get their food hygiene inspections from Windsor and Maidenhead council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Dorney Court, about 2.9 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Touchen-end; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. For schools such as Holyport College, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Mark's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Touchen-end, about 2.9 miles north.

Touchen-end: your questions answered
Can a school canteen extract in Touchen-end be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Touchen-end. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
Do you work overnight in Touchen-end?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Touchen-end keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How much time does an inspection need?
It takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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, which is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What affects the quote in Touchen-end
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
