About our TR19 inspection in Shellwood Cross
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. Typical jobs include systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and missing access panels found on survey, on wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys.
For a kitchen in or near Shellwood Cross, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Shellwood Cross and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

What else we do in Shellwood Cross
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. The timing of a visit to Shellwood Cross is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Get a fixed quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.

Why deal with it now?
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, before the next clean is due. In a small place like Shellwood Cross, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Questions from Shellwood Cross
Can you come to Shellwood Cross after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Shellwood Cross does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Shellwood Cross?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Shellwood Cross. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Heavy use under BESA guidance, 12 to 16 hours a day, means a clean at least every 3 months, and readings show whether that is enough.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so it can be fixed before the clean.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Shellwood Cross?
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; East Surrey Hospital is the nearest hospital to Shellwood Cross, about 4.8 miles east.
