TR19 inspection in Denchworth
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. If you are dealing with kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and checking the result of a recent clean, we can help.
Work in a small place like Denchworth starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens if it’s left?
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, and the quote reflects the real job. A planned visit to Denchworth is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
TR19 inspection around Denchworth
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Denchworth. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. In Denchworth, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Vale of White Horse council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Denchworth falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Longworth House is about 4.7 miles north), access may need planning.

Denchworth questions
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Denchworth out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Denchworth, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you cover smaller places like Denchworth?
Yes. Denchworth is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
When to call us in Denchworth
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
What we are most often called out for:
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
Where a hall near Church of St James, or anywhere in Denchworth, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether VAT is included
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Denchworth
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

What else we do in Denchworth
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so trading is not affected.
How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Somewhere as small as Denchworth, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
