What TR19 inspection looks like in Great Coxwell
In Great Coxwell, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Vale of White Horse council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Great Coxwell is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Faringdon Community College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Faringdon Day Hospital about 1.4 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

TR19 inspection in Great Coxwell, done properly
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. If you have systems that need surveying before cleaning and sites with gaps in their extract records, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The times the site is available
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Great Coxwell.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload

What we’re called out for in Great Coxwell
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Giles or elsewhere in Great Coxwell, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before booking
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of insurance
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Leave it or put it right?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Great Coxwell rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Great Coxwell questions
Can you get to a site in Great Coxwell?
Yes, Great Coxwell is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Great Coxwell?
In Great Coxwell, it’s Vale of White Horse council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Part by part
