TR19 inspection in Madley Park
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Madley Park and the rest of Oxfordshire. The work covers pre-clean surveys, access surveys and post-clean checks, and the jobs we see most are uncertainty over how often to clean and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit.
In a smaller place like Madley Park, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, 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.

Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so we check there.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so the kitchen keeps cooking.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a place like Madley Park, we fit the visit around your hours.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Madley Park: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Madley Park?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Madley Park does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is Madley Park within the area you cover?
Yes, Madley Park is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is 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.
What is grease thickness testing?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.

Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Design faults in the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on in Madley Park
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests

- Wet film thickness tests
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Why deal with it now?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, before the next clean is due. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Madley Park
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of Holy Trinity or anywhere around Madley Park, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Madley Park
The Food Standards Agency lists about 20 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses in and around Madley Park, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Madley Park sits within the area of 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. It’s West Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Madley Park. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Madley Park (Minster Lovell Hall is about 2.9 miles west), fitting access panels needs care. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Madley Brook Community Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection

- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing

- How big the system is
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
