About our TR19 inspection in Pusey
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. We are often asked to deal with pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, across deposit thickness tests, access surveys and wet film thickness tests.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why deal with it now?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. A planned visit to Pusey is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a small place like Pusey, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. 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.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so trading is not affected.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Design faults in the extract system
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks

Common questions in Pusey
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Pusey?
In Pusey, it’s Vale of White Horse council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Will you come out to Pusey?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
A post-clean check records grease readings and pictures after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
What do the grease readings need to be?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. We show your readings against those figures.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
Why survey before a clean?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. System size and access decide the rest.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Grease, kitchens and Pusey
Pusey is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Pusey get their food hygiene inspections from Vale of White Horse council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Pusey, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Pusey is Longworth Hospital, about 4.3 miles west. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Buckland Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
