TR19 inspection in Piddington, done properly
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. The work covers access surveys, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are sections of duct that can’t be reached and uncertainty over how often to clean.
Somewhere as small as Piddington, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, well away from where anyone looks.
Piddington: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Piddington?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Piddington. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you cover smaller places like Piddington?
Yes, Piddington is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and that’s how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area isn’t in use, whether that’s late evening, overnight or a weekend.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
What we are called out for in Piddington
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Bicester Community Hospital about 4.9 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Grease, kitchens and Piddington
It’s Cherwell council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Piddington. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Piddington. 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.
Boarstall Tower, about 2.1 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Piddington; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Piddington, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Piddington
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave.
