TR19 inspection in Winnersh
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Winnersh and the rest of Wokingham. The work covers post-clean checks, insurer audits and access surveys, and the jobs we see most are uncertainty over how often to clean and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean.
For a smaller kitchen near Winnersh, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Winnersh: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in Winnersh be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 9 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Winnersh. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
Can you get to a site in Winnersh?
Yes, Winnersh is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Winnersh?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
What is post-clean verification?
A post-clean check records grease readings and pictures after the work, whoever did the clean.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we’ll set the report out to match.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What else we do in Winnersh
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Winnersh
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
For schools such as The Forest School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- If they look at the system before pricing
Why deal with it now?
Don’t wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. An inspection now gives a site in Winnersh a current picture. In a smaller place like Winnersh, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

TR19 inspection around Winnersh
Food Standards Agency data counts about 26 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Winnersh, up to about a mile and a half out. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Food hygiene inspections in Winnersh are the job of Wokingham council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Winnersh. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
