Why deal with it now?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. With notice, the visit to Dorchester can be fitted around your bookings and events.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.

TR19 inspection in Dorchester
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Dorchester and the rest of Oxfordshire. If you are dealing with kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and checking the result of a recent clean, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Dorchester, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Dorchester, about 47 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Dorchester. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Dorchester, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit

- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
How we price TR19 inspection
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- A faulty or failing extract fan
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
What we are called out for in Dorchester
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Clifton Hampden Manor is about 2 miles west), access may need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
