TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Bure Park
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. We are often asked to deal with kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, across pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and post-clean checks.
Around a smaller place like Bure Park, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What else we do in Bure Park
Bure Park kitchens: local notes
Look up Bure Park on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 66 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 30 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Bure Park. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. It’s Cherwell council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bure Park. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Bure Park is 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.
A kitchen near Bicester North station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Bicester Community Hospital (about 1 mile south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Why deal with it now?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. A planned visit to Bure Park fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

How the job changes from site to site
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 is enough.
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. 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. Your opening hours decide when we come to Bure Park, not ours.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. 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.

Questions from Bure Park
Can you get to a site in Bure Park?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bure Park is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which council inspects kitchens in Bure Park?
Food hygiene inspections in Bure Park are carried out by Cherwell council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so following it is the sensible course.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, before anyone starts cleaning. Any access problems are flagged ahead of the clean.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
When to call us in Bure Park
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. It is not legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bure Park Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
