TR19 inspection in Caversfield, done properly
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. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. Common call-outs are for systems that need surveying before cleaning and sites with gaps in their extract records, on pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and access surveys.
Work in a small place like Caversfield starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Caversfield
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
Grease, kitchens and Caversfield
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 46 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 23 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Caversfield. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Food hygiene inspections in Caversfield are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Caversfield sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Bicester Community Hospital about 1.8 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Lawrence or elsewhere in Caversfield, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Caversfield is about 1 mile north of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Caversfield or further out, TR19 inspection is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Caversfield is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we work for TR19 inspection. Oxford is in our area too, around 12 miles away.
TR19 inspection in OX27 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover.

How it 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 the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Caversfield.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Why act early in Caversfield
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. Somewhere as small as Caversfield, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Caversfield questions
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Caversfield during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 7 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Caversfield. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you work in Caversfield outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Caversfield can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you work in Caversfield?
Yes. We work in Caversfield and the rest of Oxfordshire, within our South East and London area. To book, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Testing takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Large or multiple systems take longer, so ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll plan it.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.

Other services in Caversfield
Do you need TR19 inspection in Caversfield?
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
School kitchens, at schools like Southwold County Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
