What happens if it’s left?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. For a site in Greengate, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Why us?
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Fully insured
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Every visit written up, with pictures

TR19 inspection in Greengate
Before any clean in Greengate, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. The work covers pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks, and people most often call us about systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and uncertainty over how often to clean.
Kitchens in Greengate, 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, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Design faults in the extract system
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Grease, kitchens and Greengate
Food Standards Agency data counts about 430 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 308 sandwich bars and takeaways in Greengate and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Food hygiene inspections in Greengate are the job of Newham council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Greengate falls to London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Eastbury Manor House is about 3.1 miles east), access may need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Newham University Hospital about 0.5 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Different parts, different methods
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.

What we are called out for in Greengate
Grease is fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Andrew's Church or anywhere around Greengate, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of insurance
- Whether a survey comes first
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
Managing agents and facilities teams in Greengate
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Greengate.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Questions from Greengate
Which environmental health team covers Greengate?
Kitchens in Greengate are inspected by Newham council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What do you need to know about parking in Greengate?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
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.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
