TR19 Inspection in Norwood Hill
TR19 inspection for Norwood Hill and the surrounding area: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with pictures. Call for a fixed quote.
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
TR19 inspection in Norwood Hill
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. We’re often asked to deal with pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean, across access surveys, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys.
Work in a small place like Norwood Hill starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What TR19 inspection cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
Questions from Norwood Hill
Which fire authority looks after Norwood Hill?

How far ahead should we book?

Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you work out of hours?

What is post-clean verification?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It works whoever carried out the clean.

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, well away from where anyone looks.

Common problems we fix in Norwood Hill
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, which is why readings matter.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
A TR19® clean in Norwood Hill does not stop at the filters: the plenum, ductwork, fan and discharge are cleaned too.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Norwood Hill knowing what to expect.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- 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
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area
