About our TR19 inspection in Hampton Poyle
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. 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. Common call-outs are for systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, across insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys.
Work in a small place like Hampton Poyle starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What we are called out for in Hampton Poyle
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.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
Blenheim Palace, about 3.9 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Hampton Poyle; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- Whether VAT is included
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether a survey comes first
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
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 explain each part.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters do not mean a clean plenum. That is why we test behind them.
Hampton Poyle: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Hampton Poyle?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hampton Poyle. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can the work in Hampton Poyle be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Hampton Poyle can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
An inspection takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Sites with several canopies take longer, and you can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form to book it in.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What happens if it’s left?
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, before the next clean is due. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
