Greater London · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 inspections and grease testing in Leamouth, Greater London
We cover Leamouth for TR19 inspections and grease testing. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. In a London area like Leamouth, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

TR19 inspection in Leamouth
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. The work covers deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits, and people most often call us about cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits.
In a London area like Leamouth, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

When to call us in Leamouth
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Luke or elsewhere in Leamouth, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether they recommend a next date

TR19 inspection in Leamouth: the local picture
Look up Leamouth on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 465 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 172 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Leamouth. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. It’s Tower Hamlets council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Leamouth. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Poplar Hospital (about 0.6 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Commuter trade near Custom House station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The scale of the work
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

To help us quote quickly, send us:

Leamouth questions
What do you need to know about parking in Leamouth?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Leamouth makes the visit easier to plan. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Leamouth?
That’s London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so the base is a key test point.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. Readings and photos are taken in the plenum on every inspection.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- File every inspection report with your certificates
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
