TR19 inspections in Hanwell
We cover Hanwell for TR19 inspection. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos as standard.
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
TR19 inspection in Hanwell, done properly
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Hanwell and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. If you’re dealing with systems that need surveying before cleaning and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, we can help.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Hanwell is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Hanwell is no exception.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
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.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Never cook with filters missing
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
FAQs for Hanwell
Can parking be tricky for a job in Hanwell?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Hanwell makes the visit easier to plan. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hanwell?
Food hygiene inspections in Hanwell are carried out by Ealing council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
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.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, photos, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Testing takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Large or multiple systems take longer, and you can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email to book it in.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No, not in itself. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hanwell
Sites in Hanwell that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Grease, kitchens and Hanwell
The Food Standards Agency lists about 48 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses in Hanwell and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. Hanwell is covered by London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For kitchens close to Hanwell station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. School kitchens, at schools like St Joseph's Catholic Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Where a hall near Church of St Mellitus, or anywhere in Hanwell, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
