Greater London · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Bell Green TR19 inspection
TR19 inspection for commercial sites in Bell Green and across Greater London. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.

- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
What your team can do, and what needs us
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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
TR19 inspection in Bell Green, done properly
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts.
In a London area like Bell Green, 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What we are called out for in Bell Green
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. 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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Michael's and All Angels or elsewhere in Bell Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

TR19 inspection in Bell Green: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 38 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Bell Green. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. London Fire Brigade covers Bell Green. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Christopher's Hospice (about 1.2 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For kitchens close to Lower Sydenham station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Bell Green is about 3 miles south of New Cross, in Greater London. We provide TR19 inspection for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Bell Green and the rest of Greater London. Our Greater London coverage runs to 764 places, Bell Green among them.

Well-known places in the area include Lewisham Shopping Centre (2.3 miles north-east) and Horniman Museum and Gardens (1.4 miles north-west). Not far away are Dacres Wood and Knight's Hill.
Leave it or put it right?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. In Bell Green, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Bell Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bell Green?
The local authority for Bell Green is Lewisham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is parking a problem for work in Bell Green?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What is grease thickness testing?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Bell Green needs from us.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. Readings and photos are taken in the plenum on every inspection.
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
