About our TR19 inspection in Bromley Common
Taking on a kitchen in Bromley Common with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. Typical jobs include cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, on access surveys, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Bromley Common is normally done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

TR19 inspection around Bromley Common
Look up Bromley Common on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 92 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 37 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Bromley Common, 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 jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. In Bromley Common, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Bromley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Bromley Palace, about 1.5 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Bromley Common; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Bromley Common, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Common problems we fix in Bromley Common
When a site in Bromley Common changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records do not always follow. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Trinity Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Bromley Common, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Bromley Common.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Bromley Common

Questions from Bromley Common
Does London parking affect a job in Bromley Common?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Bromley Common during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 10 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bromley Common. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Is Bromley Common in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Bromley Common.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How much time does an inspection need?
Typically, the inspection takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. System size and access decide the rest.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. It lets us plan the clean and give you a fixed quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters do not mean a clean plenum. That’s why we test behind them.
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, out of sight of the kitchen.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
