Signs you need TR19 inspection in Hope End Green
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Missing access panels found on survey
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Herts and Essex Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hope End Green, about 4.5 miles west.

How we handle TR19 inspection in Hope End Green
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. Typical jobs include post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and missing access panels found on survey, on insurer audits, post-clean checks and wet film thickness tests.
In a small place like Hope End Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so it can be fixed before the clean.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Testing shows whether the interval suits.

TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment

CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What is grease thickness testing?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.

Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
How often should grease be tested?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
