TR19 inspection in Chadlington, done properly
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. If you are dealing with ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, we can help.
In a small place like Chadlington, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Chadlington
Food hygiene inspections in Chadlington are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Chadlington 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Chadlington Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Chadlington is about 8 miles north of Witney, in Oxfordshire.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
For TR19 inspection in Chadlington, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
When to call us in Chadlington
You cannot judge grease thickness by eye. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Chadlington, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Chadlington
Will you come out to Chadlington?
Yes. Chadlington is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Chadlington?
Chadlington is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Keep the route to access panels clear
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Somewhere like Chadlington, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so panels can be added.
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, as grease can build up there too.
