About our TR19 inspection in Nettlebed
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. Typical jobs include post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and extracts that have never been grease tested, on post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys.
For a kitchen in or near Nettlebed, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. In a small place like Nettlebed, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Get a fixed quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Nettlebed
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Kitchen extracts in Nettlebed
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Nettlebed, up to about a mile and a half out. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Kitchens in Nettlebed get their food hygiene inspections from South Oxfordshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Nettlebed sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere in Nettlebed, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Nettlebed (Greys Court is about 2.7 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. School kitchens, at schools like Nettlebed Community School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Nettlebed is about 7 miles north of Caversham, in Oxfordshire.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:

- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Never cook with filters missing
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
