What TR19 inspection can’t fix

- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Little Tew
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. Typical jobs include missing access panels found on survey and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, across access surveys, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Little Tew before we set off.
- 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.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Little Tew is calmer for everyone.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What we’re called out for in Little Tew
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, so those sections can be skipped time and again. An inspection of a system in Little Tew shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
Where a hall near Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Little Tew, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What records you will receive afterwards

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Little Tew
Which fire service covers Little Tew?
That’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can the work in Little Tew be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Little Tew doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.

Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
