About our TR19 inspection in Weald
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Weald and the rest of Oxfordshire. We are often asked to deal with missing TR19 certificates or history and systems that need surveying before cleaning, across deposit thickness tests, access surveys and pre-clean surveys.
In a village or hamlet like Weald, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Weald
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Weald. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Weald. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s West Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Weald. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Weald (Kelmscott Manor is about 4.2 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Weald, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. School kitchens, at schools like Bampton CofE Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Weald is about 4 miles south-east of Carterton, in Oxfordshire.

What happens if it’s left?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Weald.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Weald
- Wet film thickness tests

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

What else we do in Weald
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
FAQs for Weald
Who is the fire and rescue service for Weald?
Fire safety enforcement in Weald is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Weald?
Food hygiene inspections in Weald are carried out by West Oxfordshire council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, TR19® isn’t legislation. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we’ll set the report out to match.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
