Greater London · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 inspections in Hurlingham
TR19 inspection across Hurlingham and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Leave it or put it right?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. For a site in Hurlingham, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What you get with us
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Fully insured
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
How we handle TR19 inspection in Hurlingham
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. The work covers access surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Hurlingham is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
The report is your 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.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Hurlingham
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Questions from Hurlingham
Do you work overnight in Hurlingham?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Which environmental health team covers Hurlingham?
That’s Hammersmith and Fulham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hurlingham. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What is grease thickness testing?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, photos and any inaccessible areas. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Hurlingham
Look up Hurlingham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 597 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 104 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Hurlingham. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. London Fire Brigade covers Hurlingham. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Dionis or elsewhere in Hurlingham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Western Hospital (about 1 mile north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. A kitchen near Imperial Wharf station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Hurlingham is about 2 miles south of Kensington, in Greater London.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Hurlingham.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so access is planned in advance.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
