How we price TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
TR19 inspection in Bix
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. The work covers deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and access surveys, and people most often call us about uncertainty over how often to clean and confirming a clean reached the whole system.
For a kitchen in or near Bix, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Common questions in Bix
Do you work in villages like Bix?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bix included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Bix outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Bix does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and pictures. We can work from photos and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we’ll set the report out to match.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. They’re included in the readings and photos.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Bix
Environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Bix. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Bix is 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Greys Court is about 1.3 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Where a hall near Church of St James, or anywhere in Bix, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Bix is about 6 miles north of Caversham, in Oxfordshire. Bix gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Our Oxfordshire coverage runs to 443 places, Bix among them. We also work in Reading, about 8 miles from Bix.

The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. The timing of a visit to Bix is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
