TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Fulham
Taking on a kitchen in Fulham with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits, and people most often call us about sites with gaps in their extract records and missing access panels found on survey.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Fulham 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What else we do in Fulham
Why deal with it now?
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, and the quote reflects the real job. In Fulham, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Fulham
- We are fully insured
- We diagnose before we treat
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day

Grease, kitchens and Fulham
Food Standards Agency data counts about 845 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 128 takeaways across Fulham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Fulham 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. Environmental health officers from Hammersmith and Fulham council inspect food businesses in Fulham. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. Peter's Church or elsewhere in Fulham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Western Hospital, about 0.7 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a café or takeaway near West Brompton station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
Fulham is about 2 miles south of Kensington, in Greater London. From the centre of Fulham to the outskirts, TR19 inspection is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates. Our Greater London coverage runs to 764 places, and Fulham is one of them.
Work in SW6, W6 and W14 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. Streets in the area include Lampeter Square, Fulham High Street and Hurlingham Square, and we cover them all for TR19 inspection. Fulham sits on or near the A219 and A304, which makes travel easy for TR19 inspection. If your site is just outside Fulham, we cover West Kensington (1 mile north), North End (1 mile north), Putney (1 mile south-west), Brook Green (1 mile north-west) and Hammersmith (2 miles north-west). Further out, we also cover London (5 miles east), City of Westminster (3 miles north-east), Marylebone (4 miles north-east), St Pancras (5 miles north-east), Shoreditch (6 miles north-east) and Walthamstow (11 miles north-east).

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
Fulham: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Fulham?
In Fulham, it’s Hammersmith and Fulham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Fulham?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Fulham, and about any building rules on loading. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
It takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. The visit is timed so cooking isn’t disrupted.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
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.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
How we price TR19 inspection
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- 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
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
If you need TR19 inspection in Fulham, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. 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 a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Expect the work in Fulham to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
