TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Great Milton
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you have sections of duct that can’t be reached and uncertainty over how often to clean, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Great Milton
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Look out for any of the following:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Great Milton Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Before you book anyone

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
Great Milton kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 9 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Great Milton. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. It’s South Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Great Milton. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Great Milton is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A hospital like Slade Hospital, about 5.1 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Garsington Manor is about 3.1 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Great Milton
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Great Milton in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Great Milton. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Is Great Milton within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Great Milton included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. Our report sets your readings against both.
How often should grease be tested?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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, next to our reports.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Somewhere like Great Milton, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Get a fixed quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
What affects the quote in Great Milton
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
