How we handle TR19 inspection in Coscote
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. Common call-outs are for systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean, on wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and post-clean checks.
In a small place like Coscote, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

FAQs for Coscote
Can you come to Coscote after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Coscote?
That’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you quote from photos?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
It takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How much notice do you need?
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 if it’s left?
Do not wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Coscote rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Coscote
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Andrew or anywhere around Coscote, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a survey comes first
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- When the next visit should be, and why
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- A faulty or failing extract fan
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so panels can be added.
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
TR19 inspection in Coscote: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 10 pubs and bars registered in and around Coscote, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Coscote falls to 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. Environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Coscote. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Abingdon Community Hospital about 5.8 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hagbourne Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Coscote
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Somewhere as small as Coscote, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload
