About our TR19 inspection in Mongewell
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. If you have kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Mongewell, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Mongewell?
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
Historic houses near Mongewell, such as Brightwell Manor about 2.6 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of insurance
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the quote shows VAT
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Mongewell
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
Where we work

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Mongewell kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 9 pubs and bars registered across Mongewell and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Mongewell. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. It’s South Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Mongewell. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
For schools such as Crowmarsh Gifford Church of England School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around Mongewell, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What else we do in Mongewell
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Mongewell can be planned properly.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

How the job changes from site to site
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.
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Mongewell: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in Mongewell be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Mongewell. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Will you come out to Mongewell?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
After a clean, we take new readings and pictures to show how the system was left. It works whoever carried out the clean.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning right away.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
