TR19 inspection in Duns Tew, done properly
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers wet film thickness tests, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks, and the jobs we see most are systems that need surveying before cleaning and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts.
In a small place like Duns Tew, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. 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.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Duns Tew?
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
For kitchens in and around Duns Tew, the clean covers everything from the canopy to the discharge.

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Duns Tew and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Kitchen extracts in Duns Tew
It’s Cherwell council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Duns Tew. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Duns Tew. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in Duns Tew, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

The process

- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.

Related advice
Duns Tew: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Duns Tew?
That is Cherwell council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Duns Tew. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can the work in Duns Tew be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Duns Tew can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, by WFTT or DTT. Each reading is recorded in microns.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Verification means repeat readings and pictures once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.
How long does grease testing take?
Testing takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Large or multiple systems take longer, and you can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to book it in.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. We take readings there and photograph it on every inspection.
