Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
TR19 inspection in St Clement's, done properly
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. Common call-outs are for pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and checking the result of a recent clean, across pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests.
For a smaller kitchen near St Clement's, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What we are called out for in St Clement's
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Warneford Hospital (about 0.8 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Common questions in St Clement's
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for St Clement's?
St Clement's is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can a school canteen extract in St Clement's be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 79 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of St Clement's. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How often should grease be tested?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Do you cover St Clement's?
Yes. We work in St Clement's and across Oxfordshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Around St Clement's, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Design faults in the extract system
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys

What TR19 inspection looks like in St Clement's
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 100 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 16 hotels and B&Bs in and around St Clement's, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. St Clement's sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Oxford City council inspect food businesses in St Clement's. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like East Oxford Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Holywell Manor is about 0.5 miles north-west), access may need planning.
