About our TR19 inspection in Chessington
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. The work covers wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Chessington is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Chessington questions
Is parking a problem for work in Chessington?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Working overnight, as we often do in London, usually makes it simpler.
Can school kitchens in Chessington be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Chessington, the Food Standards Agency lists about 20 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
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 so they can be sorted first.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Kitchen extracts in Chessington
The FSA’s data shows about 10 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Chessington. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. Chessington is covered by London Fire Brigade. 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.
If you cook for passing trade around Chessington North station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Chessington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. A hospital like Tolworth Hospital, about 1.2 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What happens on the day
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. The visit takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. If your building in Chessington has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Why act early in Chessington
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, and the quote reflects the real job. A building in Chessington may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Diary the next grease test and clean
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
