TR19 inspection in Hampton Wick, done properly
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are extracts that have never been grease tested and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit.
In a London area like Hampton Wick, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Common problems we fix in Hampton Wick
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
A kitchen near Hampton Wick station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Questions to ask before you book

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Hampton Wick
Do you work overnight in Hampton Wick?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Hampton Wick doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Hampton Wick?
Fire safety enforcement in Hampton Wick is handled by 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.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Why survey before a clean?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. It lets us plan the clean and send you a fixed quote.
What is post-clean verification?
A post-clean check records grease readings and pictures after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
What is grease thickness testing?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we’ll set the report out to match.

Grease, kitchens and Hampton Wick
The Food Standards Agency lists about 50 pubs and bars and about 6 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses in Hampton Wick and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Hampton Wick is London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected.
Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints Church or anywhere around Hampton Wick, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Kingston Hospital about 1.1 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Hampton Wick is about 3 miles south-east of Twickenham, in Greater London.

Around Hampton Wick
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Foresters Arms, Tiffin School and Kingston Grammar School and the streets around them. Hampton Wick has its own railway station: Hampton Wick station. Nearby you’ll also find Chessington Castle Hill (3.8 miles south) and Metropolitan Police Mounted Branch Museum (2.3 miles south-west). The countryside around Hampton Wick includes The Wood and The Lake.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
Leave it or put it right?
Sites in Hampton Wick that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Expect the work in Hampton Wick to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
