TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Shedfield
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you have systems that need surveying before cleaning and missing TR19 certificates or history, we can put it right.
In a small place like Shedfield, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, 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, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t 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.

What else we do in Shedfield
Shedfield kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 18 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Shedfield. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Shedfield. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Shedfield sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John or elsewhere in Shedfield, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A hospital like Knowle Hospital, about 2.4 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What happens if it’s left?
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
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 send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.

In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so panels can be added.
FAQs for Shedfield
Can you work in Shedfield outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Shedfield needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Shedfield?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Shedfield. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What is 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.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
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 insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How the visit 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 a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Visits to a village like Shedfield are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area
Get a fixed quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet

- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Never cook with filters missing
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
