About our TR19 inspection in Brackenbury Village
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. If you are dealing with surveys needed before quoting a full clean and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, we can put it right, from pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and post-clean checks onwards.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Brackenbury Village, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
We have 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 are fully insured.

Why deal with it now?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

The process
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. If your building in Brackenbury Village has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- 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.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Get a fixed quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Flag oily drips near the extract
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
Kitchen extracts in Brackenbury Village
Food Standards Agency records list about 743 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 143 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Brackenbury Village. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. It’s Hammersmith and Fulham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Brackenbury Village. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Brackenbury Village falls to London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For kitchens close to Shepherds Bush station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Brackenbury Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What we are called out for in Brackenbury Village
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, so those sections can be skipped time and again. An inspection of a system in Brackenbury Village shows where access panels are missing, so panels can be fitted.
What we are most often called out for:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Where a hall near Church of the Holy Innocents, or anywhere in Brackenbury Village, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. We record what can and can’t be reached.
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
FAQs for Brackenbury Village
Which fire service covers Brackenbury Village?
Fire safety enforcement in Brackenbury Village is handled by London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Brackenbury Village?
The local authority for Brackenbury Village is Hammersmith and Fulham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. The report flags anything missed.
What is grease thickness testing?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
As a guide, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
