How we handle TR19 inspection in Shover's Green
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you are dealing with confirming a clean reached the whole system and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, we can put it right, from pre-clean surveys, access surveys and post-clean checks onwards.
Work in a small place like Shover'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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, 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.

What else we do in Shover's Green
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Shover's Green
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, which is why readings matter.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Shover's Green Baptist Chapel, or anywhere in Shover's Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Before booking anyone
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Shover's Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like Shover's Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Shover's Green is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Shover's Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Shover's Green keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, before anyone starts cleaning. Missing access panels are noted ahead of the clean.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
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.
What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- A faulty or failing extract fan
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests

Why act early in Shover's Green

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Shover's Green before we set off.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
