TR19 inspection in Caulcott
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Caulcott and the rest of Oxfordshire. Common call-outs are for sites with gaps in their extract records and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, on post-clean checks, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys.
Work in a small place like Caulcott starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Caulcott: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Caulcott?
The local authority for Caulcott is Cherwell council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you cover smaller places like Caulcott?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. We show your readings against those figures.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we’ll set the report out to match.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Visits to a village like Caulcott are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

What happens if it’s left?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. If the system at a site near Caulcott fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment

- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, as grease can build up there too.
TR19 inspection in Caulcott: the local picture
Food hygiene inspections in Caulcott are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Caulcott is covered by 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.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Caulcott is Bicester Community Hospital, about 4.6 miles east.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Caulcott
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Heyford Park Chapel or elsewhere in Caulcott, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
