Greater London · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Three Mills TR19 inspection
TR19 inspections and grease testing for commercial sites in Three Mills and across Greater London. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Flag oily drips near the extract
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Three Mills
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 have sites with gaps in their extract records and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, we can help.
Kitchens in Three Mills, 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, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Three Mills.
- 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.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Why it’s worth doing now in Three Mills
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. In Three Mills, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Why us?
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Every visit written up, with photos
- Full insurance on every job

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Three Mills
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys

Three Mills: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in Three Mills be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 52 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Three Mills. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Does London parking affect a job in Three Mills?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
How long does grease testing take?
An inspection takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Sites with several canopies take longer, and you can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos to book it in.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Is Three Mills in your area?
Yes. Three Mills is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Kitchen extracts in Three Mills
The FSA’s data shows about 53 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 14 hotels and guest houses registered in Three Mills and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Tower Hamlets council inspect food businesses in Three Mills. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Three Mills falls to 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.
School kitchens, at schools like East London Science School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hospital like St Clement's Hospital, about 0.9 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Three Mills, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
