TR19 inspection in Slade Green
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Slade Green and the rest of Greater London. If you’re dealing with systems that need surveying before cleaning and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, we can help.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Slade Green is typically done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What we are called out for in Slade Green
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Slade Green shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
School kitchens, at schools like St. Paul's (Slade Green) Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What insurance they carry

For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
TR19 inspection around Slade Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 71 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 67 sandwich bars and takeaways in Slade Green 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. Slade Green sits within the area of 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 Slade Green get their food hygiene inspections from Bexley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A kitchen near Slade Green station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Where a hall near St. Augustine's Church, or anywhere in Slade Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading

Slade Green questions
Do you work overnight in Slade Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Slade Green needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Which environmental health team covers Slade Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Slade Green are carried out by Bexley council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted ahead of the clean.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What is grease thickness testing?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, by WFTT or DTT. Each reading is recorded in microns.
