About our TR19 inspection in Clanfield
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. Common call-outs are for cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and sections of duct that can’t be reached, across access surveys, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
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. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Clanfield before we set off.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
TR19 inspection in Clanfield: the local picture
Look up Clanfield on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Clanfield, up to about a mile and a half out. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Fire safety in Clanfield falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Clanfield, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. 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.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Clanfield (Kelmscott Manor is about 2.7 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.
