How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system, and we clear up before we go. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Temple Mills.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading

About our TR19 inspection in Temple Mills
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Temple Mills and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. Common call-outs are for insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean, across post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Temple Mills, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Temple Mills?
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
School kitchens, at schools like Chobham Academy for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Common questions in Temple Mills
Which council inspects kitchens in Temple Mills?
In Temple Mills, it’s Newham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can school kitchens in Temple Mills be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 41 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Temple Mills, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
What do the grease readings need to be?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. We show your readings against those figures.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Testing takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Sites with several canopies take longer, and you can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos to book it in.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep the route to access panels clear
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Kitchen extracts in Temple Mills
Food Standards Agency records include about 67 pubs, bars and clubs and about 12 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Temple Mills. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Temple Mills, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Newham council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Eleutherius, or anywhere in Temple Mills, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For kitchens close to Stratford International station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

What affects the quote in Temple Mills
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Temple Mills
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Why act early in Temple Mills
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, before the next clean is due. For a site in Temple Mills, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
