Signs you need TR19 inspection in Nuneham Courtenay
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
A hospital like Littlemore Hospital, about 2.3 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

TR19 inspection in Nuneham Courtenay, done properly
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. If you are dealing with kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and parts of the system left out of past cleans, we can help.
In a small place like Nuneham Courtenay, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, 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.

Nuneham Courtenay: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Nuneham Courtenay?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Nuneham Courtenay. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Will you come out to Nuneham Courtenay?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, photos, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Readings show if the interval is right.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Nuneham Courtenay run smoothly.
- 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.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Nuneham Courtenay
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
TR19 inspection around Nuneham Courtenay
Food hygiene inspections in Nuneham Courtenay are the job of South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. We cover Nuneham Courtenay, about 49 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
For schools such as Marsh Baldon Church of England Controlled School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Flag oily drips near the extract
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
