About our TR19 inspection in Cambridge Heath
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. Common call-outs are for systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and parts of the system left out of past cleans, on pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and access surveys.
In a London area like Cambridge Heath, 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, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Cambridge Heath.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the work

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Cambridge Heath
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
TR19 inspection in Cambridge Heath: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 190 pubs, bars and clubs and about 21 hotels and B&Bs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Cambridge Heath. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. London jobs normally start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. Cambridge Heath is covered by London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
For kitchens close to Cambridge Heath station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St James-the-Less, or anywhere in Cambridge Heath, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cambridge Heath
Do not wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so access is planned in advance.
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
What affects the quote in Cambridge Heath
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll talk you through it.

You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

FAQs for Cambridge Heath
How do you handle parking and loading in Cambridge Heath?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Cambridge Heath makes the visit easier to plan. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Cambridge Heath?
In Cambridge Heath, it’s Tower Hamlets council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, before anyone starts cleaning. Any access problems are flagged ahead of the clean.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is not law; it’s BESA’s specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
How much time does an inspection need?
Typically, the inspection takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Common problems we fix in Cambridge Heath
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, which is why readings matter.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Mowlem Primary School or anywhere near Cambridge Heath, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
