About our TR19 inspection in Kingston Bagpuize
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Kingston Bagpuize and the rest of Oxfordshire. If you are dealing with missing access panels found on survey and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, we can help.
In a smaller place like Kingston Bagpuize, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How much does TR19 inspection cost in Kingston Bagpuize?

What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What is post-clean verification?
After a clean, we take new readings and pictures to show how the system was left. It works whoever carried out the clean.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Common problems we fix in Kingston Bagpuize
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
A hospital like Abingdon Community Hospital, about 5.1 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
What affects the quote in Kingston Bagpuize
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters don’t mean a clean plenum. That’s why we test behind them.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, well away from where anyone looks.
