Common questions in Beddington
How do you handle parking and loading in Beddington?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Can school kitchens in Beddington be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 41 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Beddington. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning right away.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll book around them.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
TR19 inspection in Beddington, done properly
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. If you’re dealing with extracts that have never been grease tested and sections of duct that can’t be reached, we can put it right, from access surveys, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys onwards.
In a London area like Beddington, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Beddington kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 32 pubs and bars and about 10 hotels and guest houses in and around Beddington, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Beddington is London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Beddington are the job of Sutton council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
For kitchens close to Waddon station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Beddington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Beddington saves time on the night.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
If you need TR19 inspection in Beddington, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.

What we are called out for in Beddington
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Beddington Park Primary School or anywhere near Beddington, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether a survey comes first
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we will tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks

Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so we arrange access ahead of time.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
When your team notices a problem 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.
