TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Limmo Peninsula
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. If you have missing access panels found on survey and extracts that have never been grease tested, we can help.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Limmo Peninsula, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Design faults in the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Limmo Peninsula
Does London parking affect a job in Limmo Peninsula?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Limmo Peninsula makes the visit easier to plan. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Limmo Peninsula?
In Limmo Peninsula, it’s Newham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Limmo Peninsula is normally done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Do you need TR19 inspection in Limmo Peninsula?
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Checking the result of a recent clean
Commuter trade near Custom House station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

How we price TR19 inspection
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
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 work begins.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Grease, kitchens and Limmo Peninsula
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 37 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 14 hotels and B&Bs across Limmo Peninsula and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Limmo Peninsula, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Newham council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Limmo Peninsula falls to London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
