What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
TR19 inspection in Blenheim, done properly
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Blenheim and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. We are often asked to deal with missing TR19 certificates or history and extracts that have never been grease tested, across deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and insurer audits.
In a small place like Blenheim, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem 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.

FAQs for Blenheim
Do you work in villages like Blenheim?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Blenheim included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which fire authority looks after Blenheim?
That’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. System size and access decide the rest.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. 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.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Somewhere like Blenheim, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
Grease, kitchens and Blenheim
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs, bars and clubs in Blenheim and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for Blenheim is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Blenheim. 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 historic house or estate in the area (Garsington Manor is about 0.5 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. For schools such as Garsington Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Blenheim is about 4 miles south-east of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Blenheim gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures. Our Oxfordshire coverage runs to 443 places, and Blenheim is one of them.
Work in OX44 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. That includes premises on Wheatley Road and North Manor and nearby roads. Nearby, we also carry out TR19 inspection in Garsington (1 mile west), Denton (1 mile east), Cuddesdon (1 mile east), Horspath (1 mile north-west) and Littleworth (2 miles north). Further out, we also cover Oxford (4 miles north-west), Didcot (9 miles south-west), Bicester (13 miles north), Abingdon-on-Thames (6 miles south-west), Witney (15 miles west) and Thame (8 miles east).
Near you in Blenheim
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Red Lion pub, Wheatley Park School and Library Farmhouse, among other places. The closest station to Blenheim is Radley station, about 4.3 miles south-west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include British Tattoo History Museum (3.2 miles north-west) and Oxford Castle (5 miles north-west). Not far away are Wells Farm and Shotover.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Blenheim?
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, so those sections can be skipped time and again. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so panels can be fitted.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Blenheim, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a survey comes first
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Proof of insurance
Why act early in Blenheim
Don’t wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. Somewhere as small as Blenheim, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What the work involves, part by part

Risers can be hard to get into. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
