About our TR19 inspection in Shanklin Village
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 quote and the clean fit the real system. The work covers pre-clean surveys, access surveys and post-clean checks, and people most often call us about kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Shanklin Village is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why deal with it now?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
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.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays to avoid disruption.
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Shanklin Village
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Shanklin Village kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 107 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 38 takeaways and sandwich shops in Shanklin Village and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. It’s Sutton council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Shanklin Village. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St John, or anywhere in Shanklin Village, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For schools such as Harris Academy Sutton, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Sutton Hospital about under half a mile south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Shanklin Village
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Shanklin Village?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Shanklin Village. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Is parking a problem for work in Shanklin Village?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Shanklin Village, and about any building rules on loading. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. The results are given in microns.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Is Shanklin Village in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Shanklin Village, within the South East and London area we cover.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- 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.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
