Greater London · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 inspections and grease testing in Broad Green, Greater London
TR19 inspection in Broad Green from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
How we handle TR19 inspection in Broad Green
Before any clean in Broad Green, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. The work covers insurer audits, access surveys and wet film thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and insurers asking for TR19 evidence.
In a London area like Broad Green, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
Why it’s worth doing now in Broad Green
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep to the recommended interval
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
What we’re called out for in Broad Green
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
A kitchen near West Croydon station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Kitchen extracts in Broad Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 265 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 219 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Broad Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. London Fire Brigade covers Broad Green. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Elmwood Infant School or anywhere near Broad Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Saviour or elsewhere in Broad Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Verification means repeat readings and photos once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
Why survey before a clean?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, before anyone starts cleaning. Missing access panels are noted ahead of the clean.
