Oxfordshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 Inspection in Pyrton
For TR19 inspections and grease testing in Pyrton, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
TR19 inspection in Pyrton, done properly
Taking on a kitchen in Pyrton with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. Common call-outs are for an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, on post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and access surveys.
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. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- A faulty or failing extract fan
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.

TR19 inspection in Pyrton: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Pyrton, up to about a mile and a half out. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. The fire and rescue service for Pyrton is 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. In Pyrton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Where a hall near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Pyrton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Historic houses near Pyrton, such as Adwell House about 2.5 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Watlington Primary School or anywhere near Pyrton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What happens if it’s left?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

How we price TR19 inspection
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Pyrton run smoothly.
- 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.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Heavy use under BESA guidance, 12 to 16 hours a day, means a clean at least every 3 months, and readings show whether that is enough.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Readings show if the interval is right.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Pyrton
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Pyrton?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Pyrton. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which council inspects kitchens in Pyrton?
In Pyrton, it’s South Oxfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. It lets us plan the clean and send you a fixed quote.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
