TR19 inspection in Summerstown
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. The work covers post-clean checks, access surveys and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Summerstown, 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. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Summerstown questions
What do you need to know about parking in Summerstown?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Summerstown in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Summerstown, the Food Standards Agency lists about 29 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Why survey before a clean?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and pictures. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What is grease thickness testing?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
Do you work in Summerstown?
Yes. We cover Summerstown and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. We record what can and cannot be reached.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
Common problems we fix in Summerstown
When a site in Summerstown changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records do not always follow. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Summerstown, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

What else we do in Summerstown
TR19 inspection in Summerstown: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 534 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 92 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Summerstown. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. In Summerstown, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wandsworth council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Summerstown 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.
A kitchen near Earlsfield station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St George's Hospital (about 0.7 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

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. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Why book with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- A written report with photos after each visit
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Summerstown is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
