How the job changes from site to site
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Holland Park
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and access surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are parts of the system left out of past cleans and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Holland Park, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Holland Park?
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St George or anywhere around Holland Park, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What to look for in a quote
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the quote shows VAT

Holland Park kitchens: local notes
Look up Holland Park on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 1,362 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 174 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Holland Park, up to about a mile and a half 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 is not affected. Environmental health officers from Hammersmith and Fulham council inspect food businesses in Holland Park. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Mary Abbot's Hospital (about 0.7 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Holland Park School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Leave it or put it right?
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, so the clean covers the whole system. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In Holland Park, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Holland Park
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
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.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Common questions in Holland Park
Who is the fire and rescue service for Holland Park?
Fire safety enforcement in Holland Park is handled by London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which council inspects kitchens in Holland Park?
Food hygiene inspections in Holland Park are carried out by Hammersmith and Fulham council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. The results are given in microns.
Do you cover Holland Park?
Yes. Our technicians work in Holland Park, as part of our area across London and the South East.
