TR19 inspection in Middleton Stoney
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Middleton Stoney and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. Typical jobs include insurers asking for TR19 evidence and systems that need surveying before cleaning, on pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and post-clean checks.
For a kitchen in or near Middleton Stoney, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

When to call us in Middleton Stoney
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Bicester Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Middleton Stoney, about 3 miles east.

Common questions in Middleton Stoney
Which environmental health team covers Middleton Stoney?
That’s Cherwell council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Middleton Stoney. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Will you come out to Middleton Stoney?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Middleton Stoney included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so following it is the sensible course.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, photos, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system

To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Heavy use under BESA guidance, 12 to 16 hours a day, means a clean at least every 3 months, and readings show whether that is enough.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. We take readings there and photograph it on every inspection.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Middleton Stoney
It’s Cherwell council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Middleton Stoney.

We cover Middleton Stoney, about 56 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
