Our TR19 inspection service in Greater London

TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. Typical jobs include checking the result of a recent clean and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, across pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests.

There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system.

After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
The same access points are opened up.
Grease readings are taken again at set points.
We photograph each area to record how it was left.
The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.

TR19 inspection across Greater London: local notes

Our TR19 inspection work across Greater London takes in places such as London, City of Westminster and Marylebone and the villages in between. Every place on our Greater London list (764 in all) is covered, with cleans booked around trading hours.

Greater London is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote, wherever it is in Greater London.

London: For schools such as Charles Dickens Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St George the Martyr, or anywhere in London, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What affects the quote in Greater London

We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:

What state the system is in
When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Where the site is and how we reach it
Site rules, permits and inductions

We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Helping us quote

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:

A few general shots of the system
Where the site is and what kind of site it is
How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

When it’s something else

We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:

Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet

Why act early?

After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail.

Comparing quotes

Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What paperwork you get at the end
Whether they recommend a next date
Whether a survey comes first

What the work involves, part by part

Schools, hospitals and care homes

Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.

Extract fan and discharge

The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:

Do not box in or cover duct access panels
Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test

Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.

Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.

Questions from Greater London

Where does the waste go?

We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.

What about areas you can’t get to?

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 survey before quoting?

Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

How far ahead should we book?

Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.

How often should grease be tested?

Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.

Is TR19 cleaning the law?

No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so it matters in practice.
