Questions from Brentford
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Brentford?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Brentford. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What do you need to know about parking in Brentford?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
When should we have our next grease test?
We suggest a next test date in every report, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
TR19 inspection in Brentford, done properly
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. The work covers deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Brentford, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Honest limits
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:

- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- A faulty or failing extract fan
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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, and that’s where we come in.
Leave it or put it right?
Don’t wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. An inspection now gives a site in Brentford a current picture. A booked night’s work in Brentford costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
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.

TR19 inspection around Brentford
The FSA’s data shows about 72 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 12 hotels and guest houses registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Brentford. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for Brentford is 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. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; West Middlesex University Hospital is the nearest hospital to Brentford, about 1.4 miles south-west. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Congregational Church, or anywhere in Brentford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A kitchen near Brentford station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so access is planned in advance.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. We take readings there and photograph it on every inspection.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
What affects the quote in Brentford
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
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.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
To get a fixed quote, call us 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 will normally have a quote within one working day.
What we do, step by step
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. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Brentford.
- 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 photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
