TR19 inspection in Ascott d'Oyley, done properly
Taking on a kitchen in Ascott d'Oyley with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers access surveys, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks, and the jobs we see most are post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean.
In a village or hamlet like Ascott d'Oyley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Ascott d'Oyley: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Ascott d'Oyley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Ascott d'Oyley included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Ascott d'Oyley?
Kitchens in Ascott d'Oyley are inspected by West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
When should we have our next grease test?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, with recommendations where something needs doing.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll book around them.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
What happens if it’s left?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, before the next clean is due. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What else we do in Ascott d'Oyley
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
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 any work starts.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Somewhere like Ascott d'Oyley, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
