TR19 inspection in Foscot
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. Common call-outs are for parts of the system left out of past cleans and checking the result of a recent clean, across insurer audits, access surveys and pre-clean surveys.
Somewhere as small as Foscot, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

FAQs for Foscot
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Foscot?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Foscot. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work in villages like Foscot?
Yes. Foscot is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and photos. We can work from photos and details, or visit, as suits the job.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Foscot
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bledington Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- When the next visit should be, and why
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: 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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Other services in Foscot
How we price TR19 inspection
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Why it’s worth doing now in Foscot
Sites in Foscot that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. With notice, the visit to Foscot can be fitted around your bookings and events.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Why book with us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- We are fully insured
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Trading since 2009
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Foscot knowing what to expect.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Foscot kitchens: local notes
Fire safety in Foscot falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s West Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Foscot. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A kitchen near Kingham station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Where a hall near Church of St Leonard, or anywhere in Foscot, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
