Why deal with it now?
Without readings, you are guessing when to clean. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you will not know without measuring. A planned visit to Curbridge is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

TR19 inspection in Curbridge
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Curbridge and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. If you have surveys needed before quoting a full clean and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean, we can put it right.
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. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kitchen extracts in Curbridge
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and B&Bs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Curbridge. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Curbridge. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Curbridge sits within the area of 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Minster Lovell Hall is about 1.8 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Curbridge, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Curbridge is about 2 miles south-west of Witney, in Oxfordshire.

Curbridge questions
Which fire service covers Curbridge?
That’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can the work in Curbridge be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How much time does an inspection need?
As a guide, it takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, before anyone starts cleaning. Any access problems are flagged ahead of the clean.
How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Curbridge can be planned properly.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Never cook with filters missing
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Book the next test on the date in the report
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. 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.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks

Managing agents and facilities teams in Curbridge
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
