TR19 inspections and grease testing in Green Street Green, Greater London
TR19 inspection in Green Street Green from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Missing access panels found on survey
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Green Street Green
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. The work covers post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are missing access panels found on survey and missing TR19 certificates or history.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Green Street Green, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Why deal with it now?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in Green Street Green a current picture. A building in Green Street Green may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Green Street Green is no exception.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work

Green Street Green kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 10 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Green Street Green. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Green Street Green sits within the area of 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. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Orpington Hospital (about 0.8 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Green Street Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Green Street Green Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
