TR19 inspection in Horn Park: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 25 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Horn Park and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected. Environmental health officers from Greenwich council inspect food businesses in Horn Park. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A kitchen near Lee station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Horn Park Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Horn Park
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. If you have checking the result of a recent clean and uncertainty over how often to clean, we can help.
In a London area like Horn Park, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What we are called out for in Horn Park
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Horn Park shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Eltham Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Horn Park, about 1.2 miles east.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Horn Park
Who is the fire and rescue service for Horn Park?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Horn Park. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Horn Park in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 41 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Horn Park, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, as suits the job.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
A post-clean check records grease readings and pictures after the work, whoever did the clean.
How much time does an inspection need?
Expect it to take anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays to avoid disruption.
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Before any visit in Horn Park, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Why it’s worth doing now in Horn Park
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, while there’s still time to put anything right. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Photo reports with every job
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Flag oily drips near the extract
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.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
