TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Church Enstone
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and post-clean checks, and the jobs we see most are sections of duct that can’t be reached and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean.
Work in a small place like Church Enstone 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

How we price TR19 inspection
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Church Enstone?
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
Where a hall near Church of St Kenelm, or anywhere in Church Enstone, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the figure could change on the day
What happens if it’s left?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in Church Enstone a current picture. It’s simpler to plan the work at Church Enstone now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why Church Enstone businesses choose us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Every visit written up, with photos
- Full insurance on every job

Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. The timing of a visit to Church Enstone is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

TR19 inspection in Church Enstone: the local picture
Church Enstone sits within the area of 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. It’s West Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Church Enstone. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Enstone Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Common questions in Church Enstone
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Church Enstone?
Food hygiene inspections in Church Enstone are carried out by West Oxfordshire council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire authority looks after Church Enstone?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Church Enstone. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
