TR19 inspection in Hounslow West
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and parts of the system left out of past cleans.
Kitchens in Hounslow West, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Grease, kitchens and Hounslow West
Food Standards Agency data counts about 267 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 114 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hounslow West. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. It’s Hounslow council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hounslow West. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
School kitchens, at schools like Hounslow Heath Infant and Nursery School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Hounslow Hospital about 0.7 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Paul or elsewhere in Hounslow West, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

FAQs for Hounslow West
Can parking be tricky for a job in Hounslow West?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Hounslow West makes the visit easier to plan. Working overnight, as we often do in London, typically makes it simpler.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Hounslow West in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 33 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Hounslow West. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, photos, access and a recommended cleaning interval. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
What is grease thickness testing?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters do not mean a clean plenum. That is why we test behind them.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Book the next test on the date in the report
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Hounslow West is normally done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload
