TR19 inspection in Gillette Corner, done properly
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. Common call-outs are for surveys needed before quoting a full clean and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, across access surveys, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks.
Kitchens in Gillette Corner, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Gillette Corner
How do you handle parking and loading in Gillette Corner?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Gillette Corner makes the visit easier to plan. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Can a school canteen extract in Gillette Corner be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Gillette Corner, the Food Standards Agency lists about 32 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Expect it to take a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. The visit is timed so cooking isn’t disrupted.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so following it is the sensible course.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Gillette Corner
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
What we are called out for in Gillette Corner
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Marlborough Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Gillette Corner saves time on the night.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.

TR19 inspection in Gillette Corner: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 180 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 54 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Gillette Corner, up to about a mile and a half out. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. London Fire Brigade covers Gillette Corner. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like West Middlesex University Hospital about 0.7 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around Gillette Corner, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
