TR19 inspection in Great Western Park, done properly
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. The work covers deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and extracts that have never been grease tested.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Great Western Park gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price TR19 inspection
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Common problems we fix in Great Western Park
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Great Western Park shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
Term dates shape school work: for a school like GEMS Didcot Primary Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether VAT is included
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed

Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep to the recommended interval
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
Grease, kitchens and Great Western Park
The Food Standards Agency lists about 9 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Great Western Park. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Great Western Park get their food hygiene inspections from Vale of White Horse council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Great Western Park is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Clifton Hampden Manor is about 4.4 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Matthew or elsewhere in Great Western Park, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Great Western Park: your questions answered
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Great Western Park during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 5 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Great Western Park, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work overnight in Great Western Park?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Great Western Park needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, before anyone starts cleaning. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. System size and access decide the rest.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
After a clean, we take new readings and pictures to show how the system was left. It works whoever carried out the clean.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. In a smaller place like Great Western Park, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- 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
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system
