TR19 inspection in Oakridge
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the clean can be planned properly. Typical jobs include insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, across insurer audits, access surveys and post-clean checks.
For a smaller kitchen near Oakridge, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Oakridge: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Oakridge?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Oakridge keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Oakridge?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Oakridge is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It works whoever carried out the clean.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is not law; it’s BESA’s specification. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
Oakridge kitchens: local notes
There are about 109 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 34 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Oakridge, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Oakridge. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Oakridge, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Ruins Of Chapel Of The Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Oakridge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Oakridge is Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 1.1 miles north-west. If you run a café or takeaway near Basingstoke station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
Oakridge is about 1 mile north-east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Oakridge, we can take on TR19 inspection. We can work out of hours so trading isn’t interrupted.

How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Oakridge
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
If you need TR19 inspection in Oakridge, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Oakridge can normally be finished without a second trip.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and 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, pictures and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
We do not publish a 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 get going, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
