How we handle TR19 inspection in Frilford Heath
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. Common call-outs are for kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, on pre-clean surveys, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks.
Somewhere as small as Frilford Heath, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Never cook with filters missing
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work

What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Frilford Heath and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Frilford Heath
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Checking the result of a recent clean
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Abingdon Preparatory School or anywhere near Frilford Heath, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- What insurance they carry

What does a pre-clean survey involve?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Verification means repeat readings and photos once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.
