TR19 inspection in Garsington, done properly
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 ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, on pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and post-clean checks.
In a village or hamlet like Garsington, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Heavy use under BESA guidance, 12 to 16 hours a day, means a clean at least every 3 months, with testing showing whether more is needed.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
Garsington kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Garsington. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Garsington get their food hygiene inspections from South Oxfordshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Garsington 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Garsington, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Garsington Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Garsington Manor is about 0.6 miles south-east), access may need planning.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
FAQs for Garsington
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Garsington out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Garsington. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Garsington?
The local authority for Garsington is South Oxfordshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is Garsington in your area?
Yes. We work in Garsington and the rest of Oxfordshire, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.
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.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
