TR19 inspection in Filchampstead
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. Typical jobs include checking the result of a recent clean and extracts that have never been grease tested, on deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and wet film thickness tests.
Work in a small place like Filchampstead starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. 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.

How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so it can be fixed before the clean.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
FAQs for Filchampstead
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Filchampstead?
Food hygiene inspections in Filchampstead are carried out by Vale of White Horse council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work overnight in Filchampstead?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Filchampstead keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
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.
What is post-clean verification?
A post-clean check records grease readings and pictures after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
How much time does an inspection need?
As a guide, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. System size and access decide the rest.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, photos, access and a recommended cleaning interval. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Is Filchampstead in your area?
Yes. We cover Filchampstead and the rest of Oxfordshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
How we price TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Filchampstead run smoothly.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
