About our TR19 inspection in Standlake
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. Typical jobs include sections of duct that can’t be reached and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, on pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and post-clean checks.
For a kitchen in or near Standlake, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Standlake
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Standlake: your questions answered
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Standlake out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Standlake. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you get to a site in Standlake?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Standlake is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
TR19 inspection around Standlake
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs and bars registered in Standlake and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Standlake are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Standlake sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Giles' Church or elsewhere in Standlake, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. School kitchens, at schools like Standlake Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Longworth House is about 2.5 miles south), access may need planning.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
How it works
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 anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Visits to a village like Standlake are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Related advice
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Leave it or put it right?
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, while there’s still time to put anything right. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Standlake rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why book with us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Flag oily drips near the extract
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
