TR19 inspection in Newington Butts
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. If you’re dealing with confirming a clean reached the whole system and parts of the system left out of past cleans, we can help.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Newington Butts is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
If you need TR19 inspection in Newington Butts, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Newington Butts is no exception.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Newington Butts
When a site in Newington Butts changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records do not always follow. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Metropolitan Tabernacle, or anywhere in Newington Butts, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Before booking anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether a survey comes first
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Questions from Newington Butts
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Newington Butts?
The local authority for Newington Butts is Southwark council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.

How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
How much time does an inspection need?
As a guide, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
