Kitchen extracts in Leaves Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Leaves Green. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. Leaves Green is covered by London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Princess Royal University Hospital about 2.2 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near Keston Parish Church or anywhere around Leaves Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Leaves Green is about 4 miles south of Bromley, in Greater London.

How we handle TR19 inspection in Leaves Green
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. Common call-outs are for insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, on access surveys, post-clean checks and wet film thickness tests.
In a London area like Leaves Green, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Other services in Leaves Green
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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.
Why deal with it now?
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 give you a fixed price before we start.

Common questions in Leaves Green
Who inspects food businesses in Leaves Green?
Kitchens in Leaves Green are inspected by Bromley council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can the work in Leaves Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Leaves Green keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results are given in microns.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Leaves Green
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
When to call us in Leaves Green
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
Down House, about 1.1 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Leaves Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Questions to ask before you book
- What records you will receive afterwards
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so the kitchen keeps cooking.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Leaves Green.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
