When to call us in Oakfield
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
School kitchens, at schools like Dover Park Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

About our TR19 inspection in Oakfield
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. If you’re dealing with systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, we can help.
In a smaller place like Oakfield, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. 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. Visits to a place like Oakfield are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
TR19 inspection around Oakfield
The coast is only about 2 miles from Oakfield. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 30 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 9 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Oakfield. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Oakfield. 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.
If you run a café or takeaway near Ryde St Johns Road station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Oakfield questions
Is Oakfield within the area you cover?
Yes, Oakfield is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Oakfield?
Oakfield is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Oakfield?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It works whoever carried out the clean.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, whether that is late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
