TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Bedfont
Before any clean in Bedfont, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. Common call-outs are for pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean, across insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests.
In a London area like Bedfont, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so trading isn’t affected.
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters don’t mean a clean plenum. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Bedfont is normally done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

TR19 inspection in Bedfont: the local picture
There are about 64 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 33 sandwich bars and takeaways across Bedfont and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. In Bedfont, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hounslow council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
For kitchens close to Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. For schools such as Fairholme Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Bedfont, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Bedfont
Do you work overnight in Bedfont?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Bedfont needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Bedfont in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 19 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bedfont. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work in Bedfont?
Yes. Bedfont is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
What is post-clean verification?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
What is grease thickness testing?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). Each reading is recorded in microns.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
