TR19 inspection in Friday Hill, done properly
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. Typical jobs include post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, on access surveys, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Friday Hill 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning does not 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.
How we price TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
FAQs for Friday Hill
Is parking a problem for work in Friday Hill?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Friday Hill, and about any building rules on loading. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Do you work overnight in Friday Hill?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Friday Hill needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Is Friday Hill in your area?
Yes. We cover Friday Hill and across Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What is post-clean verification?
Verification means repeat readings and photos once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Expect the work in Friday Hill to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Friday Hill and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Why act early in Friday Hill
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Why us?
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Each visit written up, with pictures
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- In business since 2009

Grease, kitchens and Friday Hill
Food Standards Agency data counts about 133 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 53 takeaways and sandwich shops in Friday Hill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. In Friday Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Waltham Forest council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Wanstead Hospital is the nearest hospital to Friday Hill, about 2.7 miles south. If you cook for passing trade around Chingford station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Friday Hill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
