TR19 inspection in Little Venice, done properly
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you have missing access panels found on survey and checking the result of a recent clean, we can help, from deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests onwards.
In a London area like Little Venice, 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 have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are 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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. We take readings there and photograph it on every inspection.
The process
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. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. In Little Venice, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

TR19 inspection in Little Venice: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 78 pubs and bars and about 155 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Little Venice, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Little Venice is 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. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Maida Vale Hospital for Nervous Diseases (about within half a mile north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For kitchens close to London Paddington station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Little Venice: your questions answered
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Little Venice in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 101 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Little Venice. You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Can you come to Little Venice after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Little Venice does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What we are called out for in Little Venice
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Saviour's Church or elsewhere in Little Venice, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Managing agents and facilities teams in Little Venice
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
