FAQs for Berrick Salome
Do you work at weekends in Berrick Salome?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Berrick Salome?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Berrick Salome. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What is grease thickness testing?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. We show your readings against those figures.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. It lets us plan the clean and send you a fixed quote.
What is post-clean verification?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. The report flags anything missed.
About our TR19 inspection in Berrick Salome
Before any clean in Berrick Salome, 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. Typical jobs include sections of duct that can’t be reached and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, across pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and access surveys.
Work in a small place like Berrick Salome 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How we price TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
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. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. 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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Berrick Salome
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site, and we clear up before we go. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Berrick Salome.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Related advice
Do you need TR19 inspection in Berrick Salome?
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Look out for any of the following:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Helen or anywhere around Berrick Salome, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Before booking anyone
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether they recommend a next date
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Kitchen extracts in Berrick Salome
About 45 miles out from central London, Berrick Salome is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Berrick Salome is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Brightwell Manor is about 3.5 miles south-west), access may need planning.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. We take readings there and photograph it as part of every survey.
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.
