How we price TR19 inspection
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
About our TR19 inspection in Hornchurch
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. Testing is how you know where your system stands. Common call-outs are for an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and systems that need surveying before cleaning, across pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks.
Kitchens in Hornchurch, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Never cook with filters missing
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Hornchurch
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 26 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Hornchurch. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. It’s Havering council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hornchurch. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St George's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hornchurch, about 0.9 miles south. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Langtons Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. For kitchens close to Emerson Park station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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, and that is where we come in.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Hornchurch.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, well away from where anyone looks.
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters don’t mean a clean plenum. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.

Common questions in Hornchurch
Do you work overnight in Hornchurch?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Hornchurch keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
How do you handle parking and loading in Hornchurch?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Hornchurch, and about any building rules on loading. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so following it is the sensible course.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we will survey first.
What do the grease readings need to be?
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.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
