How we handle TR19 inspection in Stoke Lyne
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. The work covers wet film thickness tests, access surveys and post-clean checks, and common reasons people get in touch are insurers asking for TR19 evidence and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts.
In a village or hamlet like Stoke Lyne, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Why deal with it now?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. Somewhere as small as Stoke Lyne, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Questions from Stoke Lyne
Can you come to Stoke Lyne after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Stoke Lyne keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which council inspects kitchens in Stoke Lyne?
In Stoke Lyne, it’s Cherwell council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Is Stoke Lyne in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Stoke Lyne.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What is grease thickness testing?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results are given in microns.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Readings show if the interval is right.
What we’re called out for in Stoke Lyne
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, which is why readings matter.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Stoke Lyne is Bicester Community Hospital, about 3.8 miles south.
Before booking anyone
- What insurance they carry
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What hours they’ll be on site
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Stoke Lyne, let us know and we will plan around it.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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 we can price many jobs without a visit.

TR19 inspection in Stoke Lyne: the local picture
Stoke Lyne sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Stoke Lyne are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Stoke Lyne, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Stoke Lyne is about 3 miles north of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. Stoke Lyne gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
