About our TR19 inspection in Britwell Salome
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. If you have systems that need surveying before cleaning and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, we can help, from pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and insurer audits onwards.
Somewhere as small as Britwell Salome, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
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 records stay tidy.
TR19 inspection in Britwell Salome: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Britwell Salome. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Britwell Salome. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Britwell Salome is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Icknield Community College, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Britwell Salome, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Leave it or put it right?
Sites in Britwell Salome that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. A planned visit to Britwell Salome is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Britwell Salome
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
Historic houses near Britwell Salome, such as Adwell House about 4.3 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays to avoid disruption.
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. That’s why we test behind them.
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.
If your staff spot something 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.
When something else is needed
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Britwell Salome before we set off.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Britwell Salome: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Britwell Salome?
Kitchens in Britwell Salome are inspected by South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you cover smaller places like Britwell Salome?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How much time does an inspection need?
Testing takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Sites with several canopies take longer, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll plan it.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. If photos are not enough, we will survey first.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
What is post-clean verification?
Verification means repeat readings and photos once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® isn’t law; it’s BESA’s specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
