How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. They’re included in the readings and photos.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
TR19 inspection in The Wrythe
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 clean can be planned properly. Common call-outs are for extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, across wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and access surveys.
Kitchens in The Wrythe, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. 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.

The Wrythe: your questions answered
Can parking be tricky for a job in The Wrythe?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in The Wrythe in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 30 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of The Wrythe, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
What is post-clean verification?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. The report flags anything missed.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, TR19® isn’t legislation. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we’ll set the report out to match.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in The Wrythe?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
Why deal with it now?
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in The Wrythe.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

TR19 inspection around The Wrythe
Look up The Wrythe on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 138 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 99 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of The Wrythe. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. It’s Sutton council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in The Wrythe. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Victor Seymour Infants' School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Bishop Andrewes Church or elsewhere in The Wrythe, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Do you need TR19 inspection in The Wrythe?
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.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
If you run a café or takeaway near Carshalton station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
