TR19 inspection in Goosey
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. If you have extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and extracts that have never been grease tested, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Goosey, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Grease, kitchens and Goosey
Environmental health officers from Vale of White Horse council inspect food businesses in Goosey. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Goosey is covered by 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Longworth Hospital about 4.8 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Goosey is about 4 miles north-west of Wantage, in Oxfordshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Goosey or further out, we cover TR19 inspection for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. Goosey is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover for commercial clients. We also work in Oxford, around 14 miles away.
All of SN7 is covered for TR19 inspection, from the main roads to the quietest streets. If your site is just outside Goosey, we cover Denchworth (2 miles east), Charney Bassett (2 miles north-east), Lyford (3 miles north-east), Grove (3 miles east) and Pusey (3 miles north). We also work in nearby towns such as Oxford (14 miles north-east), Didcot (10 miles east), Abingdon-on-Thames (10 miles north-east), Witney (11 miles north), Carterton (11 miles north-west) and Wantage (4 miles south-east).

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. The timing of a visit to Goosey is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Goosey questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Goosey?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Goosey. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Goosey?
The local authority for Goosey is Vale of White Horse 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.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How much time does an inspection need?
An inspection takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Sites with several canopies take longer, so give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll plan it.
Common problems we fix in Goosey
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Goosey, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the price is fixed
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Why it’s worth doing now in Goosey
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, before the next clean is due. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Goosey is calmer for everyone.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Why Goosey businesses choose us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Each visit written up, with photos
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- One number for every site across the South East and London

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
