- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
How we handle TR19 inspection in Goodmayes
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. The work covers pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are insurers asking for TR19 evidence and systems that need surveying before cleaning.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Goodmayes 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Goodmayes 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.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Get a fixed quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos 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’ll normally have a quote within one working day.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Goodmayes
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Goodmayes: your questions answered
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Goodmayes out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 55 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Goodmayes, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Which fire authority looks after Goodmayes?
Goodmayes is in the area of London Fire Brigade. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, TR19® isn’t legislation. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
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.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area isn’t in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so it can be fixed before the clean.
TR19 inspection around Goodmayes
The FSA’s data shows about 16 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered in Goodmayes and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for Goodmayes 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. Food hygiene inspections in Goodmayes are the job of Barking and Dagenham council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
For kitchens close to Goodmayes station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Goodmayes, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
