Common problems we fix in Middle Park
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, so those sections can be skipped time and again. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so panels can be fitted.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Saviour or elsewhere in Middle Park, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Middle Park
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. If you’re dealing with pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and extracts that have never been grease tested, we can help, from access surveys, post-clean checks and insurer audits onwards.
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 Middle Park, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Middle Park
Who is the fire and rescue service for Middle Park?
Middle Park is in the area of London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which environmental health team covers Middle Park?
That’s Bromley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Middle Park. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and photos. We can work from pictures and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
Is Middle Park in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Middle Park.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.

TR19 inspection in Middle Park: the local picture
There are about 125 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 64 sandwich bars and takeaways across Middle Park and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. In Middle Park, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Bromley council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Eltham Community Hospital (about 0.7 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For kitchens close to Mottingham station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Middle Park is about 1 mile west of Eltham, in Greater London. We provide TR19 inspection for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Middle Park and the rest of Greater London. Middle Park is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover for TR19 inspection. For sites nearby, see our London page, about 7 miles away.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Middle Park
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Some systems can be priced from pictures; 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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Middle Park.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters do not mean a clean plenum. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. They’re included in the readings and photos.
When it’s something else
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Design faults in the extract system
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
