How we handle TR19 inspection in Weston Otmoor
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. Common call-outs are for an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, across post-clean checks, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests.
For a kitchen in or near Weston Otmoor, 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and 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 Weston Otmoor 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.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit

Common questions in Weston Otmoor
Can the work in Weston Otmoor be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Weston Otmoor can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Weston Otmoor?
Food hygiene inspections in Weston Otmoor are carried out by Cherwell council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
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. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
It takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, by WFTT or DTT. Each reading is recorded in microns.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Never cook with filters missing
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Readings show if the interval is right.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Weston Otmoor?
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Look out for any of the following:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Weston Otmoor is Bicester Community Hospital, about 3.2 miles north-east.
Before you book anyone
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether a survey comes first
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Weston Otmoor and across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

What else we do in Weston Otmoor
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
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. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
Need a price for TR19 inspection? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Why act early in Weston Otmoor
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
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
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
