About our TR19 inspection in Shawford
Taking on a kitchen in Shawford with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers insurer audits, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests, and people most often call us about missing TR19 certificates or history and extracts that have never been grease tested.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Shawford
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

FAQs for Shawford
Who inspects food businesses in Shawford?
The local authority for Shawford is Winchester City 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.
Which fire service covers Shawford?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What is post-clean verification?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and photos. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: 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.
Kitchen extracts in Shawford
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Shawford, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Shawford. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Shawford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Shawford, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Royal Hampshire County Hospital is the nearest hospital to Shawford, about 2.7 miles north.

How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so access is planned in advance.
When to call us in Shawford
When a site in Shawford changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records do not always follow. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Checking the result of a recent clean
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Compton All Saints Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Shawford and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
