TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Raynes Park
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Raynes Park and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. If you’re dealing with systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and missing TR19 certificates or history, we can help.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Raynes Park is normally booked for the night or the early hours. 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 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.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Raynes Park
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Raynes Park
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Grease, kitchens and Raynes Park
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 205 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 37 takeaways in Raynes Park and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Food hygiene inspections in Raynes Park are the job of Merton council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. London Fire Brigade covers Raynes Park. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A kitchen near Raynes Park station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Saviour's Church or anywhere around Raynes Park, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

When something else is needed
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Mechanical faults in the extract
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
When to call us in Raynes Park
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Look out for any of the following:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
Bursars and site managers at schools such as West Wimbledon Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. In a London area like Raynes Park, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
Common questions in Raynes Park
Do you work overnight in Raynes Park?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Raynes Park does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Which environmental health team covers Raynes Park?
That’s Merton council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Raynes Park. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Is Raynes Park in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Raynes Park included.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
