Oxfordshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 inspections and grease testing in Burcot, Oxfordshire
TR19 inspection for Burcot, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Wet film thickness tests
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Burcot
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you have extracts that have never been grease tested and missing access panels found on survey, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Burcot, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why it’s worth doing now in Burcot
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Missing records can put a claim at risk. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 can quote for the whole system.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. For a village or hamlet like Burcot, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Related advice
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Burcot
Can you come to Burcot after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Burcot needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire service covers Burcot?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Burcot. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and photos. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). Each reading is recorded in microns.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Testing takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Sites with several canopies take longer, and you can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email to book it in.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Common problems we fix in Burcot
When a site in Burcot changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Littlemore Hospital (about 4.4 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Kitchen extracts in Burcot
Environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Burcot. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. At about 48 miles from central London, Burcot sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Saint Mary and Saint Berin, or anywhere in Burcot, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Clifton Hampden Manor is about 1.2 miles west), access may need planning.
