TR19 inspection in Grandpont
Before any clean in Grandpont, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. We’re often asked to deal with heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and parts of the system left out of past cleans, across access surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests.
Kitchens around a place like Grandpont are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How we price TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- Design faults in the extract system
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Grandpont?
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
If you run a café or takeaway near Oxford station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Grandpont kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 91 pubs, bars and clubs and about 13 hotels and B&Bs in and around Grandpont, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Grandpont, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Oxford City council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Grandpont falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Radcliffe Infirmary is the nearest hospital to Grandpont, about 1.1 miles north. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Ebbe's Church of England Aided Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Grandpont can typically be finished without a second trip.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Related advice
Common questions in Grandpont
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Grandpont?
That’s Oxford City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Grandpont. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Will you come out to Grandpont?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Grandpont included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we will set the report out to match.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Verification means repeat readings and pictures once the clean is done. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so following it is the sensible course.
