How we handle TR19 inspection in Becontree
Taking on a kitchen in Becontree with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. If you have missing TR19 certificates or history and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean, we can put it right.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Becontree is usually done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
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. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

Before any visit in Becontree, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.

Questions from Becontree
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Becontree during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 49 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Becontree, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Is parking a problem for work in Becontree?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we will set the report out to match.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What is grease thickness testing?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What affects the quote in Becontree
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
TR19 inspection in Becontree: the local picture
There are about 99 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 127 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Becontree, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Environmental health officers from Barking and Dagenham council inspect food businesses in Becontree. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
For schools such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St George's, or anywhere in Becontree, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Rush Green Hospital, about 1.6 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What a clean will not put right
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Mechanical faults in the extract
