TR19 inspections and grease testing in Fifield, Oxfordshire

- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
Leave it or put it right?
Sites in Fifield that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Fifield rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

TR19 inspection in Fifield, done properly
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. If you have missing TR19 certificates or history and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, we can put it right, from wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits onwards.
Somewhere as small as Fifield, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Fifield
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Fifield?

What does TR19 inspection cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. It lets us plan the clean and send you a fixed quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.

Places near Fifield
Also in Fifield
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, out of sight of the kitchen.
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters don’t mean a clean plenum. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
What affects the quote in Fifield
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Fifield
The fire and rescue service for Fifield is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Fifield are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Moore Cottage Hospital (about 4.6 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

When to call us in Fifield
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Fifield, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What to look for in a quote
- What insurance they carry
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Managing agents and facilities teams in Fifield
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Somewhere like Fifield, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
