TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Ickenham
Before any clean in Ickenham, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. The work covers insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks, and common reasons people get in touch are cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and sites with gaps in their extract records.
Kitchens in Ickenham, 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, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Ickenham
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Ickenham.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Ickenham
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Ickenham
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Common questions in Ickenham
Who is the fire and rescue service for Ickenham?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Ickenham. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What do you need to know about parking in Ickenham?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Why act early in Ickenham
If a kitchen in Ickenham has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. For a site in Ickenham, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
TR19 inspection around Ickenham
There are about 141 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 45 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Ickenham, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Environmental health officers from Hillingdon council inspect food businesses in Ickenham. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. London Fire Brigade covers Ickenham. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Douay Martyrs Catholic School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Giles' Church or elsewhere in Ickenham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Ickenham is Hillingdon Hospital, about 2.3 miles south.
