TR19 inspection in Highmoor Cross
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. Common call-outs are for insurers asking for TR19 evidence and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, on deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests.
Work in a small place like Highmoor Cross starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Highmoor Cross
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
How we price TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
If you need TR19 inspection in Highmoor Cross, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Highmoor Cross
Fire safety in Highmoor Cross falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. At about 39 miles from central London, Highmoor Cross sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Historic houses near Highmoor Cross, such as Greys Court about 1.6 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Paul or anywhere around Highmoor Cross, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Highmoor Cross and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
