How we handle TR19 inspection in Gallows Corner
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. If you have insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and confirming a clean reached the whole system, we can put it right, from wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys onwards.
Kitchens in Gallows Corner, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Gallows Corner.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- 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.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Gallows Corner: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Gallows Corner?
Gallows Corner is in the area of London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Gallows Corner?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Gallows Corner, and about any building rules on loading. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
After a clean, we take new readings and pictures to show how the system was left. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Gallows Corner?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Gallows Corner
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 each one has its own record.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Gallows Corner?
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Michael and All Angels Church, or anywhere in Gallows Corner, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the price is fixed
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether a survey comes first

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Gallows Corner kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 95 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 34 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Gallows Corner. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Environmental health officers from Havering council inspect food businesses in Gallows Corner. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Gallows Corner falls to 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Royal Liberty School or anywhere near Gallows Corner, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run a café or takeaway near Gidea Park station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
