TR19 inspection in Malden Rushett
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Malden Rushett and the rest of Greater London. The work covers deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and wet film thickness tests, and people most often call us about confirming a clean reached the whole system and insurers asking for TR19 evidence.
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. For a kitchen in Malden Rushett, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 can quote for the whole system.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
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’s where we come in.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Malden Rushett
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 31 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways across Malden Rushett and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Malden Rushett is covered by London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Malden Rushett get their food hygiene inspections from Kingston-Upon-Thames council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Chessington Community College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Historic houses near Malden Rushett, such as Fitznells Manor about 3.1 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Epsom Cottage Hospital is the nearest hospital to Malden Rushett, about 0.8 miles east.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Never cook with filters missing
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
What happens if it’s left?
Do not wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Expect it to take anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). Each reading is recorded in microns.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.

Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Malden Rushett included.
How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site, and we clear up before we go. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Malden Rushett needs from us.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
