TR19 inspection in Newington Green
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. The work covers wet film thickness tests, access surveys and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are missing access panels found on survey and insurers asking for TR19 evidence.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Newington Green 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.
Each 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.

How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.

What a clean won’t put right
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Design faults in the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Newington Green
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Newington Green
The Food Standards Agency lists about 128 pubs and bars and about 12 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses across Newington Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Islington council inspect food businesses in Newington Green. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Newington Green is London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as German Hospital (about 0.8 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like Newington Green Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Newington Green Unitarian Church or elsewhere in Newington Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, before the next clean is due. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Newington Green needs from us.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
