Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels

We look over the canopy, inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
TR19 inspection in Mill Meads
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. The work covers insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and people most often call us about systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Mill Meads, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a London area like Mill Meads, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- 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
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one

What TR19 inspection looks like in Mill Meads
The FSA’s data shows about 53 pubs and bars and about 14 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered within about 1.5 miles of central Mill Meads. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. Fire safety in Mill Meads falls to 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.
If you cook for passing trade around West Ham station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Clement's Hospital (about 0.9 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For schools such as East London Science School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted

Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. A booked night’s work in Mill Meads costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
