- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near North Stoke, let us know and we will plan around it.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in North Stoke
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in North Stoke and across Oxfordshire a clear record of the system’s condition. Common call-outs are for ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, across deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests.
In a village or hamlet like North Stoke, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

TR19 inspection around North Stoke
Environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in North Stoke. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. North Stoke 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.
Brightwell Manor, about 3.5 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near North Stoke; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Wallingford School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around North Stoke, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
North Stoke is about 6 miles south-east of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. From the centre of North Stoke to the outskirts, we cover TR19 inspection for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. We cover 443 places across Oxfordshire, large and small.

Every address in OX10 is covered for TR19 inspection, from busy streets to back roads. Streets in the area include The Street, Cook Lane and Wallingford Road, and we cover them all for TR19 inspection. We also cover Winterbrook (1 mile north-west), Cholsey (1 mile west), Mongewell (1 mile north), Newnham Murren (2 miles north) and South Stoke (2 miles south-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Oxford (13 miles north), Didcot (6 miles north-west), Abingdon-on-Thames (10 miles north-west), Thame (14 miles north-east), Wantage (13 miles west) and Henley-on-Thames (10 miles east).
Near you in North Stoke

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Diary the next grease test and clean
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Why act early in North Stoke
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Questions from North Stoke
Do you work in villages like North Stoke?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work at weekends in North Stoke?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in North Stoke keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in North Stoke?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so following it is the sensible course.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and photos. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, photos and any inaccessible areas. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in North Stoke and across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so trading is not affected.
