Grease, kitchens and Wootton
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Wootton. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Wootton sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Wootton get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Blenheim Palace, about 2.5 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Wootton; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. For schools such as Wootton-By-Woodstock Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Wootton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Wootton
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 are on. The work covers insurer audits, access surveys and wet film thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and uncertainty over how often to clean.
Somewhere as small as Wootton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Wootton
Do you work in villages like Wootton?
Yes. Wootton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Wootton?
The local authority for Wootton is West Oxfordshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is not law; it’s BESA’s specification. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. The report flags anything missed.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. We show your readings against those figures.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Somewhere like Wootton, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Design faults in the extract system
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
Leave it or put it right?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.
What you get with us
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Full insurance on every job
What affects the quote in Wootton
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
