TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Walham Green
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you have checking the result of a recent clean and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, we can put it right.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Walham Green is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Walham Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 118 pubs and bars and about 47 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered within about 1.5 miles of central Walham Green. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Walham Green sits within the area of 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. It’s Hammersmith and Fulham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Walham Green. 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St John or anywhere around Walham Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Chelsea Independent College or anywhere near Walham Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Walham Green is about 2 miles south of Kensington, in Greater London. Walham Green gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with pictures. 764 places in Greater London are on our list, large and small.

FAQs for Walham Green
Can a school canteen extract in Walham Green be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 59 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Walham Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you work overnight in Walham Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Walham Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you work in Walham Green?
Yes. We cover Walham Green and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Walham Green
When a site in Walham Green changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Checking the result of a recent clean
Commuter trade near Imperial Wharf station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Walham Green
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Why it’s worth doing now in Walham Green
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Missing records can put a claim at risk. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. A building in Walham Green may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Walham Green.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
