TR19 inspection in Perivale, done properly
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Perivale and do not 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, before any cleaning is booked. If you have systems that need surveying before cleaning and parts of the system left out of past cleans, we can help, from wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and insurer audits 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. For a kitchen in Perivale, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Common questions in Perivale
How do you handle parking and loading in Perivale?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Do you work overnight in Perivale?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Perivale?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you cover Perivale?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Perivale included.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Kitchen extracts in Perivale
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 23 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Perivale. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Perivale, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ealing council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
If you run a café or takeaway near South Greenford station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Clementine Churchill Hospital (about 1.9 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Landmarks near Perivale
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Alperton Community School, Castle Bar Park and Brentham Clubhouse pub. For rail, the closest station is South Greenford station, roughly 0.8 miles south-west of the centre.

Leave it or put it right?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. Planning ahead in Perivale lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

What else we do in Perivale
What we are called out for in Perivale
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
For schools such as St John Fisher Catholic Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Perivale.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Keep the route to access panels clear
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
