TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Great Haseley
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. The work covers wet film thickness tests, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks, and the jobs we see most are extracts that have never been grease tested and sections of duct that can’t be reached.
Somewhere as small as Great Haseley, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why it’s worth doing now in Great Haseley
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. In a small place like Great Haseley, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Honest limits
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Great Haseley kitchens: local notes
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Great Haseley. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Great Haseley, about 45 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Great Haseley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Thame Community Hospital (about 5.1 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Great Haseley is about 5 miles south-west of Thame, in Oxfordshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Great Haseley, we can take on TR19 inspection. We can work out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Our area takes in 443 places across Oxfordshire, from busy centres to quieter spots. For sites nearby, see our Oxford page, about 7 miles away.
Work in OX44 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. If you need TR19 inspection at premises on Rectory Road, Horse Close Cottages and Back Way or anywhere close by, we can help. If your site is just outside Great Haseley, we cover Great Milton (1 mile north-west), Milton Common (1 mile north-east), Tiddington (2 miles north), Albury (2 miles north-east) and Draycott (3 miles north). Larger places within reach include Oxford (7 miles west), Didcot (10 miles south-west), Bicester (14 miles north), Abingdon-on-Thames (9 miles west), Thame (5 miles north-east) and Henley-on-Thames (14 miles south-east).

How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. The timing of a visit to Great Haseley is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Related advice
When to call us in Great Haseley
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
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 3.5 miles west), access may need planning.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Proof of insurance
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- What hours they’ll be on site
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Flag oily drips near the extract
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Great Haseley
Can you get to a site in Great Haseley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Great Haseley included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Great Haseley?
Fire safety enforcement in Great Haseley is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so following it is the sensible course.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
