Greater London · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 inspections in Broadfields Estate
Our technicians work in Broadfields Estate on TR19 inspection. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos as standard.
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Broadfields Estate
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. Typical jobs include systems that need surveying before cleaning and checking the result of a recent clean, across post-clean checks, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests.
Kitchens in Broadfields Estate, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, 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.

What happens on the day
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. The visit itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Broadfields Estate.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- 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 how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Broadfields Estate kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 7 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central Broadfields Estate. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. London Fire Brigade covers Broadfields Estate. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Rosh Pinah Primary School or anywhere near Broadfields Estate, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Broadfields Estate is Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, about 1.4 miles west. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Headstone Manor is about 4.1 miles south-west), access may need planning.

Common questions in Broadfields Estate
Which fire authority looks after Broadfields Estate?
Broadfields Estate is in the area of London Fire Brigade. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Broadfields Estate during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Broadfields Estate, the Food Standards Agency lists about 21 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and that’s how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, whether that is late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How long does grease testing take?
An inspection takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Large or multiple systems take longer, so ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll plan it.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Broadfields Estate
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
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.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
