About our TR19 inspection in Clifton
Before any clean in Clifton, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. If you have extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Clifton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Clifton kitchens: local notes
There are about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Clifton, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Clifton sits within the area of 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. Food hygiene inspections in Clifton are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hospital like Horton General Hospital, about 5.3 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. In and around Clifton, every reachable section of the extract is cleaned, and anything we cannot reach goes on the report.

Why it’s worth doing now in Clifton
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
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 will explain what it covers.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, well away from where anyone looks.
How we price TR19 inspection
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
If you need TR19 inspection in Clifton, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Clifton
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Clifton: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Clifton?
Yes. Clifton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you come to Clifton after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Clifton keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, before anyone starts cleaning. Any access problems are flagged ahead of the clean.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How long does grease testing take?
It takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.

What else we do in Clifton
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Somewhere as small as Clifton, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
