TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Cogges
Taking on a kitchen in Cogges with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. We are often asked to deal with systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, across wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and insurer audits.
Around a smaller place like Cogges, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

TR19 inspection in Cogges: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 59 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 25 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Cogges. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Cogges is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Cogges are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Cogges (Minster Lovell Hall is about 2.5 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Blake Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Cogges, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Cogges: your questions answered
Can you come to Cogges after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Cogges does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Is Cogges within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How long does grease testing take?
An inspection takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Sites with several canopies take longer, so ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will plan it.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. It lets us plan the clean and give you a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so the kitchen keeps cooking.
What happens on the day
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. The visit takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. We plan the journey to Cogges and bring what the job is likely to need.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Common problems we fix in Cogges
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Look out for any of the following:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Cogges, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Before booking anyone
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether VAT is included
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we will tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
