TR19 inspection in Ivybridge
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Ivybridge and the rest of Greater London. If you’re dealing with surveys needed before quoting a full clean and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, we can help.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Ivybridge 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.
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.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Ivybridge.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so we check there.
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, as grease can build up there too.
Kitchen extracts in Ivybridge
Food Standards Agency data counts about 319 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 101 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Ivybridge. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. The fire and rescue service for Ivybridge is London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; South Middlesex Hospital is the nearest hospital to Ivybridge, about under half a mile south-east. For kitchens close to Twickenham station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

When to call us in Ivybridge
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Richmond House is about 1.1 miles south-east), access may need planning.
What your quote should include
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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’s where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Ivybridge: your questions answered
Can you work in Ivybridge outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Ivybridge can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire service covers Ivybridge?
Fire safety enforcement in Ivybridge is handled by London Fire Brigade. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
How long does grease testing take?
Typically, the inspection takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Ivybridge?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ivybridge
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. A building in Ivybridge may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
