West Hanney questions
Do you work in villages like West Hanney?
Yes. West Hanney is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in West Hanney?
That is Vale of White Horse council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in West Hanney. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How much time does an inspection need?
As a guide, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. System size and access decide the rest.
What do the grease readings need to be?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
Can you quote from photos?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, along with any actions needed.
How we handle TR19 inspection in West Hanney
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. We’re often asked to deal with ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, across wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks.
For a kitchen in or near West Hanney, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
When to call us in West Hanney
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
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 4.2 miles north), access may need planning.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- When the next visit should be, and why
- How VAT is shown on the quote

What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, 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. If you can send photos, we can arrive in West Hanney knowing what to expect.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What TR19 inspection looks like in West Hanney
Fire safety in West Hanney falls to 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. We cover West Hanney, about 57 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Abingdon Community Hospital about 5.4 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as St James Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
West Hanney is about 3 miles north of Wantage, in Oxfordshire. West Hanney gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with pictures. 443 places in Oxfordshire are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots. Oxford is in our area too, about 11 miles from West Hanney.
Work in OX12 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. That includes premises on Main Street, The Croft and School Road and nearby roads. We also cover Lyford (1 mile north-west), Denchworth (2 miles south-west), Grove (2 miles south), Charney Bassett (2 miles north-west) and Kingston Bagpuize (3 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Oxford (11 miles north-east), Didcot (7 miles east), Abingdon-on-Thames (6 miles north-east), Witney (11 miles north), Carterton (12 miles north-west) and Wantage (3 miles south).
What’s near West Hanney
In West Hanney, that means kitchens and buildings near The Black Horse pub, among other places. Well-known places in the area include Abingdon Community Hospital (5.4 miles north-east) and Hinton Waldrist Castle (4.3 miles north-west). Not far away are Chain Hill and Letcombe Valley.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. They’re included in the readings and pictures.
Leave it or put it right?
Sites in West Hanney that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. In a place like West Hanney, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
