TR19 inspection in Bexleyheath
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Bexleyheath and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. If you’re dealing with kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, we can put it right.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Bexleyheath is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something 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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Bexleyheath
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bexleyheath?
Food hygiene inspections in Bexleyheath are carried out by Bexley council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work overnight in Bexleyheath?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Bexleyheath can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
When should we have our next grease test?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we’ll set the report out to match.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Bexleyheath.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Leave it or put it right?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. A building in Bexleyheath may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

How we price TR19 inspection
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
TR19 inspection in Bexleyheath: the local picture
Look up Bexleyheath on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 167 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 87 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bexleyheath. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. London Fire Brigade covers Bexleyheath. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Trinity Baptist Church or anywhere around Bexleyheath, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you cook for passing trade around Bexleyheath station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. A hospital like Bexley Hospital, about under half a mile west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
