How we handle TR19 inspection in Fyfield
Taking on a kitchen in Fyfield with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. Typical jobs include pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, on insurer audits, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests.
Work in a small place like Fyfield 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 photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

TR19 inspection around Fyfield
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Fyfield, up to about a mile and a half out. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Fire safety in Fyfield falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Vale of White Horse council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Fyfield. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Abingdon Preparatory School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Fyfield, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, well away from where anyone looks.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Fyfield
Which fire service covers Fyfield?
Fire safety enforcement in Fyfield is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you work in Fyfield outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Fyfield does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
It takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Fyfield, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote

Why act early in Fyfield
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. If the system at a site near Fyfield fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When to call us in Fyfield
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
Appleton Manor, about 2.2 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Fyfield; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Questions to ask before you book
