TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Leyton Grange
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Leyton Grange and across Greater London a clear record of the system’s condition. We are often asked to deal with missing access panels found on survey and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean, across insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and access surveys.
Kitchens in Leyton Grange, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
When to call us in Leyton Grange
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Leyton Grange, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Design faults in the extract system
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on in Leyton Grange
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Leyton Grange
Do you work overnight in Leyton Grange?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Leyton Grange keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Leyton Grange in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 38 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Leyton Grange. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
Do you work in Leyton Grange?
Yes. We cover Leyton Grange and across Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and pictures. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Leyton Grange.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email 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. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

Kitchen extracts in Leyton Grange
Food Standards Agency data counts about 374 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 180 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Leyton Grange. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. The fire and rescue service for Leyton Grange is London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Waltham Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Leyton Grange. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Homerton University Hospital about 1.5 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Riverley Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
