Greater London · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Leyton TR19 inspection
Need TR19 inspection in Leyton? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and pictures.
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
TR19 inspection in Leyton, done properly
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. The work covers wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are systems that need surveying before cleaning and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits.
Kitchens in Leyton, 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, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Leyton
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Design faults in the extract system
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Leyton

How we price TR19 inspection
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Leyton needs from us.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Related advice
Why deal with it now?
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What you get with us

What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so panels can be added.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, and readings show whether that is enough.
Leyton: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in Leyton be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 39 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Leyton, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How do you handle parking and loading in Leyton?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Leyton, and about any building rules on loading. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
Why survey before a clean?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and pictures. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you work in Leyton?
Yes. Our technicians work in Leyton, within the South East and London area we cover.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
We do not 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 any work starts.

Grease, kitchens and Leyton
Food Standards Agency data counts about 379 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 173 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Leyton. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. In Leyton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Waltham Forest council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Christian Hope Ministries International or elsewhere in Leyton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run a café or takeaway near Leyton Midland Road station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Dawlish Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
