TR19 inspection in Rotherfield Peppard
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. We’re often asked to deal with heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, across post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits.
For a kitchen in or near Rotherfield Peppard, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Rotherfield Peppard kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Rotherfield Peppard, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Rotherfield Peppard. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Rotherfield Peppard sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Greys Court is about 1.4 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Peppard Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it 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 Rotherfield Peppard run smoothly.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
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. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
When to call us in Rotherfield Peppard
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
A hospital like Battle Hospital, about 5 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether they’re fully insured
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Rotherfield Peppard
Who inspects food businesses in Rotherfield Peppard?
That’s South Oxfordshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Rotherfield Peppard. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Rotherfield Peppard?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Rotherfield Peppard. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we will set the report out to match.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
