How we handle TR19 inspection in Fulbrook
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. We are often asked to deal with confirming a clean reached the whole system and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, on deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks.
Somewhere as small as Fulbrook, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so trading is not affected.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Fulbrook.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Honest limits
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Design faults in the extract system
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys

What happens if it’s left?
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, before the next clean is due. A planned visit to Fulbrook is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will explain what it covers.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
TR19 inspection in Fulbrook: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 7 hotels and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Fulbrook. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fulbrook sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s West Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Fulbrook. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
School kitchens, at schools like Burford Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Historic houses near Fulbrook, such as Minster Lovell Hall about 4.2 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.

Questions from Fulbrook
Can a school canteen extract in Fulbrook be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Fulbrook. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Fulbrook?
Food hygiene inspections in Fulbrook are carried out by West Oxfordshire council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
An inspection takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Large or multiple systems take longer, and you can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to book it in.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, before anyone starts cleaning. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and that’s how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area isn’t in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
When to call us in Fulbrook
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It is not legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of Saint James the Great, or anywhere in Fulbrook, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
