TR19 inspections in Sprig's Alley
TR19 inspection for Sprig's Alley, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Sprig's Alley.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system

About our TR19 inspection in Sprig's Alley
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Sprig's Alley and across Oxfordshire a clear record of the system’s condition. If you have missing TR19 certificates or history and checking the result of a recent clean, we can help.
In a small place like Sprig's Alley, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Sprig's Alley
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
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 if it’s left?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, before the next clean is due. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

FAQs for Sprig's Alley
Is Sprig's Alley within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Sprig's Alley included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work in Sprig's Alley outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Flag oily drips near the extract
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
