TR19 inspection in Shepperton, done properly
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Shepperton and don’t know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. If you have kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and missing access panels found on survey, we can help, from wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests onwards.
Kitchens around a place like Shepperton are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
What affects the quote in Shepperton
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, out of sight of the kitchen.
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
How it works
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 plan the journey to Shepperton and bring what the job is likely to need.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Grease, kitchens and Shepperton
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 27 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Shepperton. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Shepperton get their food hygiene inspections from Spelthorne council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Shepperton is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Shepperton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Commuter trade near Shepperton station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

When it’s something else
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Post-clean checks
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What we are called out for in Shepperton
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. It is not legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Look out for any of the following:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; No. 2 New Zealand General Hospital is the nearest hospital to Shepperton, about 0.9 miles south-east.
