What we’re called out for in Ascott-under-Wychwood
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
For kitchens close to Ascott-Under-Wychwood station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Ascott-under-Wychwood
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and insurer audits, and people most often call us about cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean.
Work in a small place like Ascott-under-Wychwood starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. Readings and photos are taken in the plenum on every inspection.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and photos. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
How we price TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work

- Wet film thickness tests

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. 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. In a small place like Ascott-under-Wychwood, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
