TR19 inspection in Hayes, done properly
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. 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. If you have missing access panels found on survey and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean, we can help, from insurer audits, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests onwards.
Kitchens in Hayes, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

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 Hayes a current picture. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, well away from where anyone looks.
Hayes: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hayes?
Food hygiene inspections in Hayes are carried out by Bromley council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What do you need to know about parking in Hayes?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Hayes?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Kitchen extracts in Hayes
Look up Hayes on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 72 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 27 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Hayes. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Kitchens in Hayes get their food hygiene inspections from Bromley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
For kitchens close to Hayes (Kent) station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hawes Down Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Hayes, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person

What else we do in Hayes
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Hayes needs from us.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
