TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Sunningwell
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. Typical jobs include sections of duct that can’t be reached and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, across wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and insurer audits.
Somewhere as small as Sunningwell, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Sunningwell
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
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.
Sunningwell questions
Can you get to a site in Sunningwell?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Sunningwell is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can a school canteen extract in Sunningwell be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Sunningwell. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
How much time does an inspection need?
It takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
When should we have our next grease test?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll book around them.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
TR19 inspection around Sunningwell
The fire and rescue service for Sunningwell is 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. Sunningwell is about 53 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.
Where a hall near Church of St Leonard, or anywhere in Sunningwell, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Appleton Manor is about 3.2 miles west), access may need planning.
Sunningwell is about 2 miles north of Abingdon-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire. Anywhere in OX13, we can take on TR19 inspection. Our Oxfordshire coverage runs to 443 places, and Sunningwell is one of them.
Our technicians cover all of the OX13 postcode area for TR19 inspection and the roads nearby.

Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. We record what can and cannot be reached.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not 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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sunningwell
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Sunningwell
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
School kitchens, at schools like Sunningwell Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Never cook with filters missing
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Sunningwell can be planned properly.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area
