TR19 inspection in Temple Fortune
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you are dealing with extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and sections of duct that can’t be reached, we can help.
In a London area like Temple Fortune, 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
Why it’s worth doing now in Temple Fortune
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Honest limits
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

What affects the quote in Temple Fortune
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- What state the system is in
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

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 to a regular schedule.

Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. If your building in Temple Fortune has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
