How we handle TR19 inspection in Turnham Green
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers insurer audits, post-clean checks and wet film thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are insurers asking for TR19 evidence and uncertainty over how often to clean.
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 Turnham Green, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Turnham Green
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Turnham Green: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in Turnham Green be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 47 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Turnham Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is parking a problem for work in Turnham Green?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
When should we have our next grease test?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Kitchen extracts in Turnham Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 428 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 81 sandwich bars and takeaways in Turnham Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. London Fire Brigade covers Turnham Green. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Turnham Green get their food hygiene inspections from Hounslow council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St. Nicholas Church, or anywhere in Turnham Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Barnes Hospital (about 1.3 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. For a job in Turnham Green, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, which you won’t know without measuring. A booked night’s work in Turnham Green costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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.
Common problems we fix in Turnham Green
When a site in Turnham Green changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The William Hogarth Primary School or anywhere near Turnham Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Never cook with filters missing
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and photos. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
