Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
TR19 inspection in Hounslow
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. The work covers access surveys, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are missing TR19 certificates or history and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Hounslow is normally done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, 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.

Hounslow kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 62 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 40 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Hounslow. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Food hygiene inspections in Hounslow are the job of Spelthorne council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Dunstan or elsewhere in Hounslow, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Ashford Hospital (about 1.9 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For kitchens close to Sunbury station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Hounslow is about 1 mile north of Sunbury-on-Thames, in Greater London. Whether your site is in the middle of Hounslow or further out, we cover TR19 inspection for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. We cover 764 places across Greater London, from busy centres to quieter spots. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 14 miles away.

Close by, we work in Ashford Common (1 mile south-west), Littleton Common (1 mile south-west), Sunbury-on-Thames (1 mile south), Feltham (1 mile north-east) and Bedfont (1 mile north). We also work in nearby towns such as London (15 miles east), City of Westminster (13 miles north-east), Marylebone (14 miles north-east), Kensington (11 miles north-east), St Pancras (15 miles north-east) and Hampstead (14 miles north-east).

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Hounslow
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Hounslow during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Hounslow, the Food Standards Agency lists about 28 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hounslow?
Kitchens in Hounslow are inspected by Spelthorne council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
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 is grease thickness testing?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, by WFTT or DTT. The results are given in microns.
Is Hounslow in your area?
Yes. Hounslow is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, along with any actions needed.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Hounslow
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
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 certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Hounslow is normally out of hours.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Related advice
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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.

When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Design faults in the extract system
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
