TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Whistley Green
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you have uncertainty over how often to clean and checking the result of a recent clean, we can put it right, from wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and post-clean checks onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Questions from Whistley Green
Which council inspects kitchens in Whistley Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Whistley Green are carried out by Wokingham council. 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 work in Whistley Green outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Whistley Green needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you cover Whistley Green?
Yes. Whistley Green is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
What do the grease readings need to be?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Never cook with filters missing
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep to the recommended interval
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Whistley Green, let us know and we will plan around it.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Leave it or put it right?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

TR19 inspection in Whistley Green: the local picture
There are about 16 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Whistley Green, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Whistley Green is covered by 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. Kitchens in Whistley Green get their food hygiene inspections from Wokingham council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Wokingham Hospital about 3.5 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Whistley Green is about 2 miles east of Woodley, in Wokingham. Sites in Whistley Green get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Whistley Green is one of 35 places in Wokingham we cover for commercial clients.

Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, with testing showing whether more is needed.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
What we’re called out for in Whistley Green
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so the gaps can be closed.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Nicholas Church of England Primary tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What paperwork you get at the end
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
