About our TR19 inspection in Bayworth
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. The work covers pre-clean surveys, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are sections of duct that can’t be reached and missing TR19 certificates or history.
Work in a small place like Bayworth starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How we price TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- 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 we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

FAQs for Bayworth
Do you cover smaller places like Bayworth?
Yes. Bayworth is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Bayworth?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Bayworth. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, with recommendations where something needs doing.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Bayworth?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, 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. Somewhere like Bayworth, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.

When to call us in Bayworth
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Appleton Manor is about 3.5 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
