About our TR19 inspection in Brimsdown
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. If you have systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and parts of the system left out of past cleans, we can put it right.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Brimsdown is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Other services in Brimsdown
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
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.
Brimsdown questions
Which fire service covers Brimsdown?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Brimsdown. 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 Brimsdown?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. We can work from photos and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
An inspection takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Large or multiple systems take longer, and you can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email to book it in.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Brimsdown is usually out of hours.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the 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.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. The survey shows exactly what access there is.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Michaels Hospital about 2.5 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as Brimsdown Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A kitchen near Brimsdown station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
