TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Ruislip Gardens
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. The work covers insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are systems that need surveying before cleaning and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Ruislip Gardens is usually done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so access is planned in advance.
Leave it or put it right?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. For a site in Ruislip Gardens, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
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’ll explain each part.

Kitchen extracts in Ruislip Gardens
Food Standards Agency data counts about 104 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 53 takeaways in and around Ruislip Gardens, up to about a mile and a half out. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Ruislip Gardens is covered by London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Ruislip Gardens get their food hygiene inspections from Hillingdon council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A kitchen near South Ruislip station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Paul or elsewhere in Ruislip Gardens, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Ruislip Gardens
Which fire authority looks after Ruislip Gardens?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Ruislip Gardens. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you come to Ruislip Gardens after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Ruislip Gardens needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
How long does grease testing take?
As a guide, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. System size and access decide the rest.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you cover Ruislip Gardens?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Ruislip Gardens included.
Common problems we fix in Ruislip Gardens
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Ruislip High School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What insurance they carry
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What staff can safely do
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. For a job in Ruislip Gardens, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
