Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system.

- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Wigginton
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the clean can be planned properly. Common call-outs are for checking the result of a recent clean and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, on post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests.
Work in a small place like Wigginton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Wigginton
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Wigginton and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
When to call us in Wigginton
Grease is fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of Saint Giles or anywhere around Wigginton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether a survey comes first
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Wigginton
Do you work at weekends in Wigginton?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Wigginton needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Wigginton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Wigginton included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, before anyone starts cleaning. Missing access panels are noted ahead of the clean.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Wigginton?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
TR19 inspection around Wigginton
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Wigginton. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Wigginton get their food hygiene inspections from Cherwell council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Broughton Castle is about 3.5 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
