TR19 inspection in Plashet, done properly
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and grease readings are taken at set points. The work covers insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings.
Kitchens in Plashet, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Why act early in Plashet
If a kitchen in Plashet 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. For a site in Plashet, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What you get with us
- In business since 2009
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- We’re fully insured
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something 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.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Expect the work in Plashet to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Advice
Plashet kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 22 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 15 hotels and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Plashet. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. Plashet sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Commuter trade near Woodgrange Park station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Newham University Hospital is the nearest hospital to Plashet, about 1.5 miles south. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Barnabas or elsewhere in Plashet, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

FAQs for Plashet
What do you need to know about parking in Plashet?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Plashet makes the visit easier to plan. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Plashet?
Plashet 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 offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, TR19® is not legislation. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- 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
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
