TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Bampton
Before any clean in Bampton, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. The work covers deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and insurer audits, and people most often call us about kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean.
For a smaller kitchen near Bampton, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

TR19 inspection around Bampton
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs and bars as registered food businesses across Bampton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Bampton get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Bampton 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Bampton CofE Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Bampton (Longworth House is about 4.8 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Longworth Hospital is the nearest hospital to Bampton, about 5.1 miles south.
Bampton is about 3 miles south-east of Carterton, in Oxfordshire. Every kind of commercial site in Bampton, we can take on TR19 inspection.

Why act early in Bampton
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Bampton at a time that suits you.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Bampton can normally be finished without a second trip.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

How we price TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The scale of the work
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so the base is a key test point.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, out of sight of the kitchen.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Design faults in the extract system
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
Common questions in Bampton
Do you cover smaller places like Bampton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bampton is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Bampton outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Bampton keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® isn’t law; it’s BESA’s specification. 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.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.

What else we do in Bampton
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
