TR19 inspections and grease testing in Little Milton, Oxfordshire

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
About our TR19 inspection in Little Milton
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the clean can be planned properly. If you’re dealing with confirming a clean reached the whole system and sections of duct that can’t be reached, we can help, from pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. We record what can and can’t be reached.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

What we’re called out for in Little Milton
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Missing access panels found on survey
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as NHS Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group (about 4.9 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What paperwork you get at the end
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Visits to a village like Little Milton 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.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Little Milton questions
Which fire service covers Little Milton?
Little Milton is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can a school canteen extract in Little Milton be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Little Milton, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Why survey before a clean?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and photos. We can work from photos and details, or visit, as suits the job.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Little Milton
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
- 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 the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
