TR19 inspection in Nine Elms
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Nine Elms and don’t know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. We’re often asked to deal with confirming a clean reached the whole system and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, on insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Nine Elms, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Common questions in Nine Elms
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Nine Elms out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 55 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Nine Elms. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Nine Elms?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Nine Elms makes the visit easier to plan. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll book around them.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

TR19 inspection around Nine Elms
There are about 943 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 171 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Nine Elms, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Food hygiene inspections in Nine Elms are the job of Wandsworth council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Nine Elms is 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints or anywhere around Nine Elms, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal Hospital Chelsea (about 0.7 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Related advice
Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. We take readings there and photograph it on every inspection.
Why it’s worth doing now in Nine Elms
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, so the clean covers the whole system. In Nine Elms, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Common problems we fix in Nine Elms
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
What we are most often called out for:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
If you cook for passing trade around Battersea Park station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether they recommend a next date
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
