TR19 inspections and grease testing in Oakley, Hampshire
Looking for TR19 inspection in Oakley? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. 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 work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Oakley can normally be finished without a second trip.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

TR19 inspection in Oakley
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Oakley and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. Typical jobs include post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, across post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests.
Around a smaller place like Oakley, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Oakley?
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.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John's, or anywhere in Oakley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Diary the next grease test and clean
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
For TR19 inspection in Oakley, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Oakley
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
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 can quote for the whole system.

Kitchen extracts in Oakley
At about 50 miles from central London, Oakley sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Fire safety in Oakley falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight 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.
