TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Shalfleet
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the clean can be planned properly. The work covers pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks, and people most often call us about kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits.
In a village or hamlet like Shalfleet, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
TR19 inspection around Shalfleet
At about 2 miles from the coast, Shalfleet is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Shalfleet is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. In Shalfleet, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Isle of Wight 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 look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Shalfleet Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Shalfleet, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St. Michael the Archangel or anywhere around Shalfleet, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Mary's Hospital about 5.2 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays so meals aren’t affected.
Shalfleet: your questions answered
Is TR19 inspection any different in a coastal place like Shalfleet?
Yes, to a degree: at about 2 miles from the coast, Shalfleet gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Can school kitchens in Shalfleet be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Shalfleet. You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It works whoever carried out the clean.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
When should we have our next grease test?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
What affects the quote in Shalfleet
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system

Leave it or put it right?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, before the next clean is due. With notice, the visit to Shalfleet can be fitted around your bookings and events.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
