TR19 inspections and grease testing in Notting Dale, Greater London
Professional TR19 inspection in and around Notting Dale, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with photos.
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, 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. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Notting Dale is normally done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
TR19 inspection in Notting Dale
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you have missing access panels found on survey and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, we can help.
In a London area like Notting Dale, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.

Do you work overnight in Notting Dale?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Notting Dale needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, whoever did the clean.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, with recommendations where something needs doing.

If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Notting Dale
The Food Standards Agency lists about 93 pubs, bars and clubs and about 110 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Notting Dale. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected. In Notting Dale, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Kensington and Chelsea council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Notting Dale is Princess Louise Hospital, about 0.6 miles north-west.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Notting Dale
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The times the site is available
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: 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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Notting Dale
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
School kitchens, at schools like Thomas Jones Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
