The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Grove Park.
- 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.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Advice
About our TR19 inspection in Grove Park
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and grease readings are taken at set points. Typical jobs include confirming a clean reached the whole system and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean, on post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests.
In a London area like Grove Park, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

FAQs for Grove Park
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Grove Park during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 39 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Grove Park. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which fire service covers Grove Park?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Grove Park. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you work in Grove Park?
Yes. Grove Park is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so following it is the sensible course.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Kitchen extracts in Grove Park
Food Standards Agency records list about 321 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 80 takeaways and sandwich shops in Grove Park and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. Kitchens in Grove Park get their food hygiene inspections from Hounslow council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hospital like Barnes Hospital, about 1.2 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Paul's Church or anywhere around Grove Park, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For kitchens close to Chiswick station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Around Grove Park

You will also find Dukes Meadows (0.6 miles south-east) and Bull's Head pub (within half a mile west). Grove Park has its own railway station: Chiswick station. Other landmarks nearby include Livat Hammersmith (1.9 miles north-east) and Asian Music Museum (0.9 miles north). Not far away are Duke's Hollow and Richmond Hill.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Diary the next grease test and clean
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
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 don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Why it’s worth doing now in Grove Park
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 Grove Park a current picture. In Grove Park, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
