TR19 inspection in Eynsham
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’re on. Common call-outs are for kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean, on deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks.
In a smaller place like Eynsham, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. In a smaller place like Eynsham, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

Kitchen extracts in Eynsham
Food Standards Agency data counts about 9 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Eynsham. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Eynsham sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Eynsham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. 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.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Eynsham is Radcliffe Infirmary, about 5.1 miles east. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Blenheim Palace is about 4.1 miles north), access may need planning.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Eynsham
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Eynsham in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Eynsham. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Is Eynsham within the area you cover?
Yes, Eynsham is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll book around them.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Eynsham
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. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Leonard, or anywhere in Eynsham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
