TR19 inspection in Crossness
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 shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. If you are dealing with kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and missing access panels found on survey, we can help, from post-clean checks, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests onwards.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Crossness is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Readings show if the interval is right.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Leave it or put it right?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

The process
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 the same goes into the written report. The visit takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Expect the work in Crossness to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Crossness
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Crossness out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 30 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Crossness, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Crossness?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Crossness. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, whoever did the clean.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Crossness
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- 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
- Problems your staff have spotted
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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. That is our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
TR19 inspection in Crossness: the local picture
Look up Crossness on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 44 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 33 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Crossness. 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. Kitchens in Crossness get their food hygiene inspections from Bexley council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St John Fisher Catholic Primary School or anywhere near Crossness, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Cross or elsewhere in Crossness, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What we are called out for in Crossness
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Crossness shows where access panels are missing, so panels can be fitted.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Erith and District Hospital is the nearest hospital to Crossness, about 2.1 miles south-east.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
