TR19 inspections and grease testing in Stadhampton, Oxfordshire
Need TR19 inspection in Stadhampton? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and pictures.
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
About our TR19 inspection in Stadhampton
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers access surveys, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and people most often call us about extracts that have never been grease tested and missing access panels found on survey.
In a small place like Stadhampton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Stadhampton kitchens: local notes
Stadhampton is about 46 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Stadhampton. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For schools such as Stadhampton Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Garsington Manor is about 2.5 miles north-west), access may need planning.
Stadhampton is about 6 miles south-east of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Across the OX44 area, we can carry out TR19 inspection at your premises. Stadhampton is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we work for TR19 inspection. For sites nearby, see our Oxford page (6 miles or so).
All of OX44 is within our area for TR19 inspection, from the main roads to the quietest streets. You’ll find streets such as Lucerne Drive, Thame Road and Mill Lane, all of which we cover for TR19 inspection. Close by, we work in Brookhampton (1 mile south), Newington (1 mile south), Great Holcombe (1 mile south), Drayton St Leonard (1 mile south) and Berinsfield (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Oxford (6 miles north-west), Didcot (7 miles south-west), Bicester (15 miles north), Abingdon-on-Thames (7 miles west), Thame (8 miles north-east) and Wantage (14 miles south-west).
Around Stadhampton
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Crown pub and the streets around them. Stadhampton’s nearest station is Radley station, roughly 4.8 miles west. A little further out are Aston Martin Heritage Trust Museum (1.6 miles south) and Littlemore Hospital (4.8 miles north-west). Not far away are Wells Farm and Wittenham Clumps.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Stadhampton.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Stadhampton and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Design faults in the extract system
- Mechanical faults in the extract
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on in Stadhampton
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
Common problems we fix in Stadhampton
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
A hospital like Littlemore Hospital, about 4.8 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours

What else we do in Stadhampton
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Book the next test on the date in the report
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Questions from Stadhampton
Do you cover smaller places like Stadhampton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stadhampton is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which environmental health team covers Stadhampton?
In Stadhampton, it’s South Oxfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. We show your readings against those figures.
What is grease thickness testing?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and pictures. We can work from photos and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
It takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. The visit is timed so cooking isn’t disrupted.
