About our TR19 inspection in Winkfield Street
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. The work covers pre-clean surveys, access surveys and deposit thickness tests, and people most often call us about cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and parts of the system left out of past cleans.
In a village or hamlet like Winkfield Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. The timing of a visit to Winkfield Street is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.

Common questions in Winkfield Street
Which fire service covers Winkfield Street?
That’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Is Winkfield Street within the area you cover?
Yes. Winkfield Street is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
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.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. It lets us plan the clean and send you a fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
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.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, not in itself. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
When should we have our next grease test?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Winkfield Street
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Design faults in the extract system
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Winkfield Street
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Winkfield Street
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Winkfield Street, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they recommend a next date
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
TR19 inspection in Winkfield Street: the local picture
Winkfield Street sits within the area of 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. Winkfield Street, about 27 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Heatherwood Hospital is the nearest hospital to Winkfield Street, about 2.6 miles south. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (St Leonard's Hill is about 2.8 miles north-east), access may need planning.
Winkfield Street is about 3 miles north-east of Bracknell, in Windsor and Maidenhead. Every kind of commercial site in Winkfield Street, TR19 inspection is something we can help with.

What else we do in Winkfield Street
Why deal with it now?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, which you will not know without measuring. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
