TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in London Fields
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. If you are dealing with systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and sections of duct that can’t be reached, we can put it right.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in London Fields is typically done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Leave it or put it right?
If a kitchen in London Fields has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. It’s better booked as a planned job in London Fields than handled as an emergency.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.

Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays so meals aren’t affected.
TR19 inspection in London Fields: the local picture
There are about 985 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 256 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central London Fields, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. The fire and rescue service for London Fields 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in London Fields, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Commuter trade near London Fields station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like German Hospital about 0.6 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Who inspects food businesses in London Fields?
Food hygiene inspections in London Fields are carried out by Hackney council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
How long does grease testing take?
As a guide, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
Why survey before a clean?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, photos, access and a recommended cleaning interval. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
How it works
On the day, we arrive 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. On site, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in London Fields is normally done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
