TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Seven Kings
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. Common call-outs are for an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean, on wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys.
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 Seven Kings, that usually 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, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What affects the quote in Seven Kings
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

Other services in Seven Kings
Do you need TR19 inspection in Seven Kings?
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
If you cook for passing trade around Seven Kings station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. 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.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem 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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Seven Kings.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- 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
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Seven Kings
The Food Standards Agency lists about 16 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Seven Kings. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Seven Kings 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. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St John the Evangelist or anywhere around Seven Kings, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Downshall Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Seven Kings: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Seven Kings?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Seven Kings. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
How do you handle parking and loading in Seven Kings?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. Each reading is recorded in microns.
When should we have our next grease test?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
What is post-clean verification?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It works whoever carried out the clean.

Yes. Our technicians work in Seven Kings, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
