- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
TR19 inspection in Northmoor
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. If you are dealing with kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and systems that need surveying before cleaning, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Northmoor, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Northmoor before we set off.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Why it’s worth doing now in Northmoor
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What you get with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Northmoor
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Northmoor
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Denys or anywhere around Northmoor, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How we price TR19 inspection
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see

Part by part
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. We record what can and can’t be reached.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Northmoor kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Northmoor, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Northmoor. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Northmoor get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Abingdon Community Hospital (about 5.4 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Appleton Manor is about 1.7 miles south-east), access may need planning.
Northmoor is about 6 miles north-west of Abingdon-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire.

Common questions in Northmoor
Which fire service covers Northmoor?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Northmoor. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work at weekends in Northmoor?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Northmoor can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is not law; it’s BESA’s specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
