TR19 inspection in Bradwell
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. We are often asked to deal with confirming a clean reached the whole system and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, on access surveys, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests.
In a village or hamlet like Bradwell, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Bradwell
Which council inspects kitchens in Bradwell?
In Bradwell, it’s West Oxfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is Bradwell within the area you cover?
Yes. Bradwell is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Bradwell?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Grease, kitchens and Bradwell
Bradwell sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. It’s West Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bradwell. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Bradwell, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For schools such as Burford School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, and readings show whether that’s enough.
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, as grease can build up there too.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Never cook with filters missing
- Book the next test on the date in the report
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
What else we do in Bradwell
Why it’s worth doing now in Bradwell
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. In a place like Bradwell, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will talk you through it.

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. After that, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Bradwell, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- 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.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
