Why it’s worth doing now in Wroxton
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. With notice, the visit to Wroxton can be fitted around your bookings and events.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

How we handle TR19 inspection in Wroxton
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. If you have sites with gaps in their extract records and extracts that have never been grease tested, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Wroxton 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.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Wroxton can be planned properly.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Wroxton
When a site in Wroxton changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Horton General Hospital (about 2.9 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

TR19 inspection in Wroxton: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Wroxton. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Wroxton is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Wroxton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Cherwell 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Wroxton Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Broughton Castle, about 2.3 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Wroxton; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Wroxton is about 2 miles west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire.

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’re happy to quote for all of it.

Wroxton: your questions answered
Can the work in Wroxton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Wroxton needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Is Wroxton within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Wroxton included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Wroxton?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, TR19® isn’t legislation. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
When it’s something else
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
