TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Sewardstone
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. If you have extracts that have never been grease tested and confirming a clean reached the whole system, we can put it right, from deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and access surveys onwards.
In a London area like Sewardstone, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we are called out for in Sewardstone
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Michaels Hospital (about 3.5 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Mechanical faults in the extract
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Sewardstone
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, 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.
What happens if it’s left?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in Sewardstone a current picture. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What you get with us
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Sewardstone is normally out of hours.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading

If you need TR19 inspection in Sewardstone, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
Advice
Grease, kitchens and Sewardstone
There are about 29 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 14 takeaways and sandwich shops across Sewardstone and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Sewardstone 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. London jobs normally start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
School kitchens, at schools like Prince of Wales Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Historic houses near Sewardstone, such as Forty Hall about 2.8 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, 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.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Sewardstone questions
Do you work at weekends in Sewardstone?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Sewardstone does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Sewardstone?
Kitchens in Sewardstone are inspected by Epping Forest council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
