TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Chiswick
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. The work covers wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys, and people most often call us about systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and sites with gaps in their extract records.
In a London area like Chiswick, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Chiswick: your questions answered
Can the work in Chiswick be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Chiswick?
In Chiswick, it’s Hounslow 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.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you cover Chiswick?
Yes. We work in Chiswick and across Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Chiswick?

TR19 inspection around Chiswick
Look up Chiswick on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 538 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 124 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Chiswick, up to about a mile and a half out. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. The fire and rescue service for Chiswick is London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. Nicholas Church or elsewhere in Chiswick, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; West London Hospital is the nearest hospital to Chiswick, about 1.5 miles east.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. For a job in Chiswick, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- 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.

When to call us in Chiswick
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Checking the result of a recent clean
Commuter trade near Chiswick station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Chiswick
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
How we price TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
