About our TR19 inspection in St John Street area
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. The work covers insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks, and common reasons people get in touch are parts of the system left out of past cleans and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean.
For a smaller kitchen near St John Street area, 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in St John Street area
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, so those sections can be skipped time and again. An inspection of a system in St John Street area shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
What we are most often called out for:
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
A kitchen near Oxford station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If they look at the system before pricing
Leave it or put it right?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
