TR19 cleaning in Reading — questions

Do you cover all of Reading? +

Yes — we cover every postcode in Reading, including the major clusters: The Oracle restaurant terrace and Town centre independent restaurants. Out-of-hours access patterns vary by cluster; we coordinate access ahead of every visit.

What does tr19 cleaning cost in Reading? +

£895–£2,800+ outside London · £1,195–£3,500+ in London. Reading kitchens trend toward mix of shopping-centre, modern restaurant and corporate-park kitchens — we factor that into the quote at site walk.

Which EHO covers Reading? +

Reading Borough Council EHO.

What does TR19 actually require? +

TR19 (current edition: TR19 Grease, 2019) requires the entire extract system to be cleaned to a defined grease level (below 200μm WFT), with documentary evidence and a certificate produced after each clean. Frequency is set by usage hours.

Is TR19 a legal requirement? +

TR19 itself is a technical specification, not a statute. But the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places a legal duty on the responsible person to manage fire risk — and TR19 is the recognised industry standard for evidencing that the extract system is not a fire risk.

Will my insurance pay out without a TR19 certificate? +

It depends on the policy wording. Most commercial kitchen insurance policies now reference TR19 (or the BESA grease specification) directly. Without a current certificate, claims for kitchen fire damage are routinely refused or reduced.
