How we handle TR19 inspection in Boars Hill
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you have systems that need surveying before cleaning and uncertainty over how often to clean, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Boars Hill, 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.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Boars Hill
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Boars Hill?
That is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work in villages like Boars Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
Why survey before a clean?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, before anyone starts cleaning. Any access problems are flagged so they can be sorted first.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How long does grease testing take?
Typically, the inspection takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.

When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first

Managing agents and facilities teams in Boars Hill
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Book the next test on the date in the report
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Grease, kitchens and Boars Hill
About 53 miles out from central London, Boars Hill is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Kitchens in Boars Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Vale of White Horse council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Boars Hill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Littlemore Hospital is the nearest hospital to Boars Hill, about 2.8 miles east.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Boars Hill?
Grease is fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Look out for any of the following:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Wootton St Peter's Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
Why deal with it now?
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, and the quote reflects the real job. With notice, the visit to Boars Hill can be fitted around your bookings and events.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so we check there.
