TR19 inspection in Ewelme, done properly
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Ewelme and the rest of Oxfordshire. We are often asked to deal with post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, across wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and insurer audits.
Work in a small place like Ewelme 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Ewelme and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Ewelme
If a kitchen in Ewelme has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What you get with us
- Survey first, then a fixed quote

Do you need TR19 inspection in Ewelme?
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
For schools such as Ewelme CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the quote shows VAT

For landlords and multi-site operators

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep to the recommended interval
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.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
