Oxfordshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Brookhampton TR19 inspection
TR19 inspection in Brookhampton from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
How we handle TR19 inspection in Brookhampton
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. We are often asked to deal with kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and systems that need surveying before cleaning, across wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests.
For a kitchen in or near Brookhampton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
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.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Brookhampton
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Brookhampton?
The local authority for Brookhampton is South Oxfordshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Brookhampton?
Fire safety enforcement in Brookhampton 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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
Leave it or put it right?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in Brookhampton a current picture. A planned visit to Brookhampton is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

What we are called out for in Brookhampton
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
Historic houses near Brookhampton, such as Garsington Manor about 2.7 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
What your quote should include
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What hours they’ll be on site
How we price TR19 inspection
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
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 work begins.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Grease, kitchens and Brookhampton
Brookhampton is about 46 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Kitchens in Brookhampton get their food hygiene inspections from South Oxfordshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Where a hall near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Brookhampton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Littlemore Hospital about 4.9 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Brookhampton is about 7 miles east of Abingdon-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire.

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Readings show if the interval is right.
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.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. The timing of a visit to Brookhampton is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- 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.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
