How we handle TR19 inspection in Churchill
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the clean can be planned properly. Common call-outs are for missing access panels found on survey and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, across wet film thickness tests, access surveys and pre-clean surveys.
In a village or hamlet like Churchill, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Churchill and across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Churchill: your questions answered
Is Churchill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Churchill outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Churchill keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Why survey before a clean?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and photos. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What is post-clean verification?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and photos. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Kitchen extracts in Churchill
Look up Churchill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Churchill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Fire safety in Churchill falls to 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. Kitchens in Churchill get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Kingham Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Chastleton House is about 3.8 miles north-west), access may need planning.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

When to call us in Churchill
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Churchill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- When the next visit should be, and why
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Heavy use under BESA guidance, 12 to 16 hours a day, means a clean at least every 3 months, with testing showing whether more is needed.

How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Churchill run smoothly.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one
