About our TR19 inspection in Winkfield
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. We are often asked to deal with confirming a clean reached the whole system and extracts that have never been grease tested, on access surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests.
In a village or hamlet like Winkfield, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Common questions in Winkfield
Which fire authority looks after Winkfield?
That is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which council inspects kitchens in Winkfield?
The local authority for Winkfield is Bracknell Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we’ll set the report out to match.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
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.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: 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 should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Winkfield can be planned properly.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Never cook with filters missing
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Winkfield kitchens: local notes
Winkfield is about 26 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. In Winkfield, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Bracknell Forest council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
School kitchens, at schools like Winkfield St Mary's CofE Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Heatherwood Hospital (about 2.3 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Winkfield, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
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.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Leave it or put it right?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Winkfield is calmer for everyone.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
