How we handle TR19 inspection in Bledington
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. Typical jobs include extracts that have never been grease tested and sites with gaps in their extract records, on pre-clean surveys, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests.
Somewhere as small as Bledington, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
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.

TR19 inspection in Bledington: the local picture
Environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Bledington. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Bledington sits within the area of 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 cook for passing trade around Kingham station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bledington Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Questions from Bledington
Can you get to a site in Bledington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Bledington?
Fire safety enforcement in Bledington is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. The timing of a visit to Bledington is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get 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.
Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Bledington?
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Leonard or anywhere around Bledington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
