Managing agents and facilities teams in Radley
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
About our TR19 inspection in Radley
Before any clean in Radley, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you have kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and missing access panels found on survey, we can put it right, from insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Radley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
Radley: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Radley?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Radley. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can the work in Radley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, photos, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Common problems we fix in Radley
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Radley shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Missing access panels found on survey
For kitchens close to Radley station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Radley.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- The system is checked from canopy to 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
