TR19 inspection in Dry Sandford, done properly
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, 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. The work covers wet film thickness tests, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks, and the jobs we see most are surveys needed before quoting a full clean and parts of the system left out of past cleans.
Work in a small place like Dry Sandford starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Why deal with it now?
If a kitchen in Dry Sandford has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. In a place like Dry Sandford, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Dry Sandford and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive

Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Helen, or anywhere in Dry Sandford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Questions from Dry Sandford
Can you work in Dry Sandford outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Dry Sandford keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is Dry Sandford within the area you cover?
Yes. Dry Sandford is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
When should we have our next grease test?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Flag oily drips near the extract
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
