TR19 Inspection in Poffley End
We cover Poffley End for TR19 inspections, grease thickness testing, pre-clean surveys and post-clean verification. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Poffley End.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

TR19 inspection in Poffley End
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Poffley End and across Oxfordshire a clear record of the system’s condition. Common call-outs are for kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, on wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and access surveys.
In a small place like Poffley End, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

FAQs for Poffley End
Which fire service covers Poffley End?
Fire safety enforcement in Poffley End is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who inspects food businesses in Poffley End?
Food hygiene inspections in Poffley End are carried out by West Oxfordshire council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What is post-clean verification?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. The report flags anything missed.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and pictures. We can work from photos and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. They’re included in the readings and pictures.

When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Design faults in the extract system
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Leave it or put it right?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Poffley End
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 can quote for the whole system.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What staff can safely do
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.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Kitchen extracts in Poffley End
The FSA’s data shows about 11 pubs, bars and clubs registered across Poffley End and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Poffley End falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s West Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Poffley End. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hailey Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Poffley End, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Poffley End (Minster Lovell Hall is about 2.2 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.
