TR19 inspection in Heathrow, done properly
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Heathrow and the rest of Surrey. If you are dealing with cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Heathrow
Who is the fire and rescue service for Heathrow?
Fire safety enforcement in Heathrow is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work overnight in Heathrow?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Heathrow does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
What is post-clean verification?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. The report flags anything missed.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. 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 with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Heathrow?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Heathrow
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. The timing of a visit to Heathrow is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Related advice
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
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- File every inspection report with your certificates
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
How we price TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What else we do in Heathrow
TR19 inspection in Heathrow: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 14 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 17 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses across Heathrow and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Heathrow are the job of Hillingdon council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Heathrow. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bedfont Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Heathrow (Osterley House is about 4.6 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
Heathrow is about 2 miles north-west of Feltham, in Surrey. We provide TR19 inspection for commercial premises of every kind in Heathrow and the rest of Surrey. Our Surrey coverage runs to 395 places, Heathrow among them. There’s also a page for London, roughly 16 miles from Heathrow.
We cover every part of the TW6 postcode area for TR19 inspection and the streets around it. Close by, we work in West Bedfont (1 mile south-west), Hatton (1 mile east), Bedfont (1 mile south-east), Stanwell (1 mile south-west) and Harlington (1 mile north-east). Larger places within reach include Woking (12 miles south-west), Camberley (15 miles south-west), Epsom (12 miles south-east), Ewell (12 miles south-east), Egham (5 miles south-west) and Walton-on-Thames (6 miles south).
Near you in Heathrow
Around Heathrow, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Queen's Arms and Space Studio West London, among other places. There’s a railway station in Heathrow itself: Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 Rail station. A little further out are Spelthorne Museum (3.5 miles south-west) and Harlington (1.6 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Staines Reservoirs and Crane Meadows.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Heathrow?
Grease in a duct is flammable 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.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Heathrow is Harlington, about 1.6 miles north.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether they’re fully insured
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
