TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Longworth
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. Typical jobs include insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and uncertainty over how often to clean, on pre-clean 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, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What we’re called out for in Longworth
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
Longworth House, about 0.4 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Longworth; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:

What your team can do, and what needs us
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, next to 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.
FAQs for Longworth
Can you come to Longworth after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Longworth needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Longworth?
That is 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.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
How much time does an inspection need?
Testing takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Sites with several canopies take longer, and you can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email to book it in.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
How we price TR19 inspection
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
If you need TR19 inspection in Longworth, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Longworth and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. 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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Longworth
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Longworth kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Longworth. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Environmental health officers from Vale of White Horse council inspect food businesses in Longworth. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Longworth is 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Longworth, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Longworth Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
