TR19 inspections and grease testing in Shepherd's Green, Oxfordshire
Our technicians work in Shepherd's Green on TR19 inspections and grease testing. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Book the next test on the date in the report
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
About our TR19 inspection in Shepherd's Green
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. Common call-outs are for cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, on deposit thickness tests, access surveys and post-clean checks.
Work in a small place like Shepherd's Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

When to call us in Shepherd's Green
When a site in Shepherd's Green changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Shepherd's Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Comparing quotes
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Missing records can put a claim at risk. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. A planned visit to Shepherd's Green is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- We diagnose before we treat

For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Shepherd's Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- 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
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Shepherd's Green
Do you work overnight in Shepherd's Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Shepherd's Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover smaller places like Shepherd's Green?
Yes. Shepherd's Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. Our report sets your readings against both.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Shepherd's Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
