TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Lampton
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. We’re often asked to deal with extracts that have never been grease tested and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, on insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Lampton, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
Leave it or put it right?
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, while there’s still time to put anything right. It’s better booked as a planned job in Lampton than handled as an emergency.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Lampton needs from us.
- 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.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Lampton
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
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’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Lampton
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
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.
Grease, kitchens and Lampton
There are about 256 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 118 takeaways and sandwich shops in Lampton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, 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. Kitchens in Lampton get their food hygiene inspections from Hounslow council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Lampton sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Hounslow Hospital is the nearest hospital to Lampton, about 0.8 miles south-west. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Alexandra Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Lampton?
When a site in Lampton changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records do not always follow. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
A kitchen near Hounslow station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
