TR19 inspection in Murcott
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks, and people most often call us about kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit.
In a village or hamlet like Murcott, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays so meals are not affected.
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Murcott and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Murcott.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
TR19 inspection in Murcott: the local picture
The fire and rescue service for Murcott is 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. Environmental health officers from Cherwell council inspect food businesses in Murcott. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hospital like Bicester Community Hospital, about 4.1 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Boarstall Tower, about 2.7 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Murcott; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Honest limits
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- A faulty or failing extract fan
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What happens if it’s left?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you will not know without measuring. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

FAQs for Murcott
Will you come out to Murcott?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire authority looks after Murcott?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Murcott. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Why survey before a clean?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. We can work from pictures and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What is post-clean verification?
Verification means repeat readings and photos once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
