TR19 inspection in Spelsbury
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 grease readings are taken at set points. If you have an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and uncertainty over how often to clean, we can put it right.
In a small place like Spelsbury, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

The fire and rescue service for Spelsbury is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Spelsbury. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

When to call us in Spelsbury
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.
What we are most often called out for:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Spelsbury, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether a survey comes first
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
Other services in Spelsbury
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- File every inspection report with your certificates
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
Spelsbury questions
Who inspects food businesses in Spelsbury?
Kitchens in Spelsbury are inspected by West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health officers. 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 Spelsbury?
Yes. Spelsbury is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. We can work from pictures and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How often should grease be tested?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we will book around them.
Why act early in Spelsbury
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

How we price TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. In a small place like Spelsbury, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
