TR19 inspection in Clifton Hampden
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. If you are dealing with sections of duct that can’t be reached and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, we can put it right.
In a small place like Clifton Hampden, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so we check there.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Clifton Hampden
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

Clifton Hampden kitchens: local notes
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Clifton Hampden, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Clifton Hampden is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. It’s South Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Clifton Hampden. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Clifton Hampden is Abingdon Community Hospital, about 4 miles west. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Clifton Hampden Manor is about 0.1 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. School kitchens, at schools like Clifton Hampden Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Why deal with it now?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Clifton Hampden knowing what to expect.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Get a fixed quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
Clifton Hampden: your questions answered
Is Clifton Hampden within the area you cover?
Yes. Clifton Hampden is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Clifton Hampden?
In Clifton Hampden, it’s South Oxfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
As a guide, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. System size and access decide the rest.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and that’s how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, whether that is late evening, overnight or a weekend.
