Questions from Motspur Park
Do you work at weekends in Motspur Park?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Motspur Park doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How do you handle parking and loading in Motspur Park?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Motspur Park makes the visit easier to plan. Working overnight, as we often do in London, typically makes it simpler.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
After a clean, we take new readings and pictures to show how the system was left. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
TR19 inspection in Motspur Park, done properly
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. Typical jobs include confirming a clean reached the whole system and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, across insurer audits, post-clean checks and wet film thickness tests.
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 Motspur Park, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Motspur Park
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Matthew's CofE Primary School or anywhere near Motspur Park, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What paperwork you get at the end
How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Motspur Park is typically out of hours.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

Why deal with it now?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Motspur Park
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Grease, kitchens and Motspur Park
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 137 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 32 takeaways and sandwich shops across Motspur Park and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected. Environmental health officers from Kingston-Upon-Thames council inspect food businesses in Motspur Park. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Christ Church New Malden, or anywhere in Motspur Park, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Commuter trade near New Malden station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
