TR19 inspections and grease testing in Acton Green, Greater London
TR19 inspection in Acton Green from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Acton Green
Before any clean in Acton Green, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you have kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, we can help, from access surveys, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys onwards.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Acton Green, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Acton Green?
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints or elsewhere in Acton Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Kitchen extracts in Acton Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 88 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 8 hotels and guest houses across Acton Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Acton Green get their food hygiene inspections from Ealing council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
If you run a café or takeaway near South Acton station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. For schools such as Ark Priory Primary Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What staff can safely do
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 don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Why deal with it now?
Do not wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. An inspection now gives a site in Acton Green a current picture. In Acton Green, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Common questions in Acton Green
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Acton Green?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Acton Green. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Acton Green?
In Acton Green, it’s Ealing council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. We can work from pictures and details, or visit, as suits the job.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so it matters in practice.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Acton Green.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
