About our TR19 inspection in Bedford Park
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. The work covers deposit thickness tests, access surveys and post-clean checks, and the jobs we see most are systems that need surveying before cleaning and extracts that have never been grease tested.
In a London area like Bedford Park, 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Why deal with it now?
Sites in Bedford Park that have never measured grease cannot tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. For a site in Bedford Park, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Bedford Park?
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
Commuter trade near South Acton station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
What affects the quote in Bedford Park
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Bedford Park is no exception.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Get a fixed quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
Questions from Bedford Park
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Bedford Park?
Bedford Park is in the area of London Fire Brigade. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
How do you handle parking and loading in Bedford Park?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Bedford Park makes the visit easier to plan. Working overnight, as we often do in London, usually makes it simpler.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning right away.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Is Bedford Park in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Bedford Park included.
TR19 inspection in Bedford Park: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 84 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 8 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses across Bedford Park and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. London Fire Brigade covers Bedford Park. 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 Bedford Park are the job of Ealing council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
School kitchens, at schools like Southfield Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Peter's or elsewhere in Bedford Park, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
