- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a place like Dean Court, we fit the visit around your hours.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

About our TR19 inspection in Dean Court
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. We are often asked to deal with kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean, across insurer audits, access surveys and wet film thickness tests.
For a smaller kitchen near Dean Court, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
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. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Dean Court: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Dean Court?
In Dean Court, it’s Vale of White Horse council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Dean Court during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Dean Court. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. System size and access decide the rest.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. We can work from photos and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Dean Court
Food Standards Agency records list about 10 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 7 takeaways in Dean Court and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Kitchens in Dean Court get their food hygiene inspections from Vale of White Horse council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Dean Court is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Radcliffe Infirmary about 2.2 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Where a hall near St Andrew's, or anywhere in Dean Court, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Holywell Manor is about 2.7 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

- The times the site is available
You won’t 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.
