East Lockinge TR19 inspection

What happens if it’s left?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. A fault that closes a site in a village like East Lockinge affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Every job surveyed first
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- One number for every site across the South East and London

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in East Lockinge
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. The work covers pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and access surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are extracts that have never been grease tested and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts.
Work in a small place like East Lockinge 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in East Lockinge
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in East Lockinge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Comparing quotes
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Different parts, different methods
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays so meals aren’t affected.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys

East Lockinge questions
Which fire service covers East Lockinge?
Fire safety enforcement in East Lockinge is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Which council inspects kitchens in East Lockinge?
Food hygiene inspections in East Lockinge are carried out by Vale of White Horse council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® isn’t law; it’s BESA’s specification. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, so the clean goes to plan. Any access problems are flagged so they can be sorted first.
What is grease thickness testing?
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.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How we price TR19 inspection
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
