Your questions about TR19 inspection in Eastcote
Which council inspects kitchens in Eastcote?
In Eastcote, it’s Hillingdon council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is parking a problem for work in Eastcote?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. The report flags anything missed.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
TR19 inspection in Eastcote
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. If you are dealing with pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and parts of the system left out of past cleans, we can help.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Eastcote, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Common problems we fix in Eastcote
Grease is fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Eastcote (Headstone Manor is about 1.7 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

What else we do in Eastcote
TR19 inspection around Eastcote
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 17 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Eastcote. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Eastcote is London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Lawrence or anywhere around Eastcote, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Cannon Lane Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Book the next test on the date in the report
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Eastcote is typically done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote

Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
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 will go through it with you.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Need a price for TR19 inspection? Please ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Eastcote and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays so meals are not affected.
