About our TR19 inspection in Kingham
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Kingham and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers wet film thickness tests, access surveys and post-clean checks, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and missing access panels found on survey.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Common questions in Kingham
Can the work in Kingham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Kingham keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Kingham in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Kingham, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Why survey before a clean?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, as suits the job.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Kingham?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What is post-clean verification?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
TR19 inspection around Kingham
It’s West Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Kingham. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Kingham sits within the area of 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Moore Cottage Hospital (about 5.8 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Kingham Primary School or anywhere near Kingham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Kingham is about 10 miles north of Carterton, in Oxfordshire.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Never cook with filters missing
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Kingham?
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
If you cook for passing trade around Kingham station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
Questions to ask before booking

The visit takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. In a small place like Kingham, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.

Advice
How we price TR19 inspection
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
