TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Leafield
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. The work covers post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean.
In a village or hamlet like Leafield, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Leafield?
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
Historic houses near Leafield, such as Minster Lovell Hall about 2.5 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Kitchen extracts in Leafield
Food hygiene inspections in Leafield are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Leafield sits within the area of 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.
For schools such as Leafield Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Leafield, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Visits to a village like Leafield are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare

What else we do in Leafield
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
Why act early in Leafield
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Leafield rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Common questions in Leafield
Will you come out to Leafield?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Leafield is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Leafield?
Leafield is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. System size and access decide the rest.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will book around them.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
Different parts, different methods
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.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
