Extract fan and discharge

TR19 inspection in Newnham Murren
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Newnham Murren and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers wet film thickness tests, access surveys and post-clean checks, and the jobs we see most are insurers asking for TR19 evidence and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean.
In a village or hamlet like Newnham Murren, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Newnham Murren and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

What else we do in Newnham Murren
Honest limits
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we do, step by step

The visit itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. In a small place like Newnham Murren, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Questions from Newnham Murren
Can the work in Newnham Murren be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Newnham Murren does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is Newnham Murren within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Newnham Murren included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What happens if it’s left?
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, and the quote reflects the real job. A fault that closes a site in a village like Newnham Murren affects everyone who depends on it.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.
