How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
TR19 inspection in Moulsford
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. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. Typical jobs include checking the result of a recent clean and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, on pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and insurer audits.
Work in a small place like Moulsford starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Common questions in Moulsford
Will you come out to Moulsford?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Moulsford included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which council inspects kitchens in Moulsford?
Kitchens in Moulsford are inspected by South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, before anyone starts cleaning. Missing access panels are noted ahead of the clean.
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.
The process
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Moulsford before we set off.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Moulsford
When a site in Moulsford changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records do not always follow. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Basildon Park is about 3.9 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- When the next visit should be, and why
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What happens if it’s left?
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, before the next clean is due. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Why us?
- We diagnose before we treat
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- A fixed price before any work starts
What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Wet film thickness tests
Moulsford kitchens: local notes
We cover Moulsford, about 46 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Moulsford. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Cranford House School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Moulsford, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Moulsford is about 6 miles south-east of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Moulsford, we can take on TR19 inspection. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. Our Oxfordshire coverage runs to 443 places, and Moulsford is one of them. You can also see our page for Reading, roughly 10 miles from Moulsford.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
