TR19 inspections and grease testing in Aston, Oxfordshire
Professional TR19 inspection in and around Aston, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with photos.
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
How we handle TR19 inspection in Aston
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. Typical jobs include insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, on deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and access surveys.
For a kitchen in or near Aston, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

How we price TR19 inspection
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What else we do in Aston
What happens if it’s left?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Photo reports with every job
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Full insurance on every job

Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so access is planned in advance.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Readings show if the interval is right.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. In a small place like Aston, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

TR19 inspection in Aston: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 16 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Aston. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Aston are the job of Wokingham council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Aston is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Aston is Marlow Community Hospital, about 4.6 miles east. Greenlands, about 1 mile north-west, is one of the historic houses near Aston; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Aston, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Aston is about 2 miles north-east of Henley-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire.

Local landmarks in Aston

The nearest railway station is Henley-On-Thames station, roughly 1.7 miles south-west of the centre.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Aston
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers

FAQs for Aston
Which environmental health team covers Aston?
Kitchens in Aston are inspected by Wokingham council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you cover smaller places like Aston?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Aston included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What is grease thickness testing?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, by WFTT or DTT. The results are given in microns.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
