How we handle TR19 inspection in Woodside
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. The work covers post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and parts of the system left out of past cleans.
For a kitchen in or near Woodside, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Why it’s worth doing now in Woodside
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. It’s simpler to plan the work at Woodside now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Grease, kitchens and Woodside
Look up Woodside on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Woodside. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. In Woodside, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Bracknell Forest council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Woodside 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 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 Woodside, about 1.7 miles south-west. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Woodside (St Leonard's Hill is about 2.6 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so trading is not affected.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
When to call us in Woodside
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Checking the result of a recent clean
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Woodside, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Woodside.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare

Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
Woodside questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Woodside?
The local authority for Woodside is Bracknell Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work at weekends in Woodside?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Woodside needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
