Common questions in Chadwell Heath
Does London parking affect a job in Chadwell Heath?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Chadwell Heath makes the visit easier to plan. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Can you work in Chadwell Heath outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Chadwell Heath doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What is grease thickness testing?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results are given in microns.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and photos. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, as suits the job.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
We suggest a next test date in every report, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
TR19 inspection in Chadwell Heath
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. Typical jobs include kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and uncertainty over how often to clean, on post-clean checks, insurer audits and access surveys.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Chadwell Heath is typically done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Diary the next grease test and clean
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Chadwell Heath
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Common problems we fix in Chadwell Heath
You cannot judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Missing access panels found on survey
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Warren Junior School or anywhere near Chadwell Heath, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Comparing quotes

Why act early in Chadwell Heath
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you will not know without measuring. A booked night’s work in Chadwell Heath costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Before any visit in Chadwell Heath, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
