About our TR19 inspection in Plaistow
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Plaistow and across Greater London a clear record of the system’s condition. The work covers deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Plaistow is usually done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Plaistow
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so panels can be fitted.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
If you run a café or takeaway near West Ham station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether a survey comes first
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether they recommend a next date
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Plaistow kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 20 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 15 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Plaistow. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Plaistow get their food hygiene inspections from Newham council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Plaistow is London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Newham University Hospital (about 0.5 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Kaizen Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Why act early in Plaistow
If a kitchen in Plaistow has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
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 will explain what it covers.

How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. In a London area like Plaistow, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so the kitchen keeps cooking.
