TR19 Inspection in Kenley
Our technicians work in Kenley on TR19 inspection. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Kenley
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you have sections of duct that can’t be reached and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, we can help, from pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits onwards.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Kenley, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What we’re called out for in Kenley
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
For schools such as Harris Primary Academy Kenley, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Comparing quotes
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What insurance they carry
What happens if it’s left?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Kenley: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for work in Kenley?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Working overnight, as we often do in London, usually makes it simpler.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Kenley?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Kenley. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Kenley
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits

TR19 inspection in Kenley: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 10 pubs, bars and clubs across Kenley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. London Fire Brigade covers Kenley. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In London, kitchens are typically cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
A hospital like Purley War Memorial Hospital, about 1.3 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A kitchen near Kenley station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Kenley is about 1 mile south-east of Purley, in Greater London. Anywhere in CR8, we can carry out TR19 inspection at your premises. Kenley is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover for commercial clients. For sites nearby, see our London page (12 miles or so).

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system.

- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
