TR19 inspection in Bethnal Green, done properly
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. The work covers insurer audits, access surveys and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and uncertainty over how often to clean.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Bethnal Green, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Bethnal Green

You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bethnal Green
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the route to access panels clear
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. If your building in Bethnal Green has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
Grease, kitchens and Bethnal Green
The Food Standards Agency lists about 285 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 46 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Bethnal Green. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. It’s Tower Hamlets council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bethnal Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Lawdale Junior School or anywhere near Bethnal Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A kitchen near Cambridge Heath station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Peter's or elsewhere in Bethnal Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Bethnal Green: your questions answered
How do you handle parking and loading in Bethnal Green?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
Can you work in Bethnal Green outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Bethnal Green can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, photos and any inaccessible areas. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Any access problems are flagged so they can be sorted first.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
