TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Begbroke
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. Common call-outs are for kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean, across access surveys, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests.
Work in a small place like Begbroke 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.
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.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Begbroke
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Begbroke shows where access panels are missing, so panels can be fitted.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Philip or elsewhere in Begbroke, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, out of sight of the kitchen.
Grease, kitchens and Begbroke
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 18 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 11 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Begbroke. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Fire safety in Begbroke falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Begbroke get their food hygiene inspections from Cherwell council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Acland Hospital about 4.9 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Blenheim Palace, about 2.2 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Begbroke; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

What should I send you?

What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Begbroke.
- 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.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
