How we handle TR19 inspection in Dulwich Village
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the clean can be planned properly. The work covers access surveys, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and uncertainty over how often to clean.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Dulwich Village is typically done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Diary the next grease test and clean
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Design faults in the extract system
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Before any visit in Dulwich Village, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

Dulwich Village kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 66 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central Dulwich Village. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. Dulwich Village sits within the area of 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.
A hospital like Dulwich Community Hospital, about 0.6 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like Dulwich Hamlet Junior School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Why it’s worth doing now in Dulwich Village
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, and the quote reflects the real job. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Dulwich Village
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
Where a hall near St Barnabas' Church, or anywhere in Dulwich Village, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Before you book anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What insurance they carry
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded

Do you clean school canteen extracts around Dulwich Village out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 65 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Dulwich Village. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you work in Dulwich Village outside opening hours?

Do you work in Dulwich Village?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Dulwich Village.
What is post-clean verification?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
