How we handle TR19 inspection in Bakers Arms
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. The work covers deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks, and common reasons people get in touch are heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and checking the result of a recent clean.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Bakers Arms is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How we price TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bakers Arms
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. Planning ahead in Bakers Arms lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Bakers Arms questions
Do you work at weekends in Bakers Arms?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Bakers Arms?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Bakers Arms makes the visit easier to plan. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Expect it to take anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
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.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Bakers Arms
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Bakers Arms shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
What we are most often called out for:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Stephen's, or anywhere in Bakers Arms, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before you book
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether they’re fully insured
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. For a job in Bakers Arms, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Grease, kitchens and Bakers Arms
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 41 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Bakers Arms. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Waltham Forest council inspect food businesses in Bakers Arms. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Wanstead Hospital about 1.8 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Thomas Gamuel Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
