TR19 inspections in Milton-under-Wychwood
TR19 inspections, grease thickness testing, pre-clean surveys and post-clean verification for commercial sites in Milton-under-Wychwood and across Oxfordshire. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Milton-under-Wychwood
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers access surveys, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are missing access panels found on survey and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed.
Somewhere as small as Milton-under-Wychwood, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Milton-under-Wychwood questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Milton-under-Wychwood?
Food hygiene inspections in Milton-under-Wychwood are carried out by West Oxfordshire council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire service covers Milton-under-Wychwood?
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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and photos. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
What happens if it’s left?
If a kitchen in Milton-under-Wychwood has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

When to call us in Milton-under-Wychwood
When a site in Milton-under-Wychwood changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Simon and St Jude or elsewhere in Milton-under-Wychwood, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before you book anyone
- What insurance they carry
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they recommend a next date
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It 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. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Milton-under-Wychwood, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Never cook with filters missing
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- File every inspection report with your certificates
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
