Finstock TR19 inspection
Looking for TR19 inspection in Finstock? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and pictures.
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
Do you need TR19 inspection in Finstock?
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so the gaps can be closed.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Missing access panels found on survey
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Finstock, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

TR19 inspection in Finstock
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. If you have confirming a clean reached the whole system and missing access panels found on survey, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Finstock, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Somewhere like Finstock, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Flag oily drips near the extract
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so it can be fixed before the clean.
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Finstock
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Finstock: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Finstock?
Yes, Finstock is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Finstock?
In Finstock, it’s West Oxfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Why survey before a clean?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and photos. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, as suits the job.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Kitchen extracts in Finstock
Finstock is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Finstock. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A kitchen near Finstock station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. School kitchens, at schools like Finstock Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
