TR19 inspections and grease testing in Beckley, Oxfordshire
TR19 inspection across Beckley and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Beckley can be planned properly.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

TR19 inspection in Beckley, done properly
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. The work covers access surveys, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests, and people most often call us about kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common questions in Beckley
Do you cover smaller places like Beckley?
Yes. Beckley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Beckley?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Expect it to take around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Beckley
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Beckley and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, well away from where anyone looks.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
