Parsons Green TR19 inspection
Our technicians work in Parsons Green on TR19 inspection. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Parsons Green
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. Testing is how you know where your system stands. If you have systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, we can put it right, from wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and access surveys onwards.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Parsons Green, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Parsons Green?
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Parsons Green shows where access panels are missing, so panels can be fitted.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
A kitchen near Imperial Wharf station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
Why deal with it now?
Sites in Parsons Green that have never measured grease cannot tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. In Parsons Green, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. That’s why we test behind them.
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. They’re included in the readings and pictures.
Grease, kitchens and Parsons Green
There are about 806 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 131 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Parsons Green, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. Environmental health officers from Hammersmith and Fulham council inspect food businesses in Parsons Green. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Western Hospital about 0.8 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Dionis or anywhere around Parsons Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Parsons Green questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Parsons Green?
The local authority for Parsons Green is Hammersmith and Fulham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Parsons Green?
Parsons Green is in the area of London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
Do you work in Parsons Green?
Yes. Parsons Green is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.

What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll plan the visit around them.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Parsons Green
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Expect the work in Parsons Green to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
