TR19 inspection in Wallend, done properly
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. If you’re dealing with extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean, we can put it right.
Kitchens in Wallend, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, well away from where anyone looks.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Common problems we fix in Wallend
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Missing access panels found on survey
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John the Baptist's Church or elsewhere in Wallend, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether a survey comes first
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the quote shows VAT
Common questions in Wallend
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Wallend in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Wallend, the Food Standards Agency lists about 49 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Wallend?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do you work in Wallend?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Wallend included.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. For a job in Wallend, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
TR19 inspection around Wallend
The Food Standards Agency lists about 20 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Wallend. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. In Wallend, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Newham council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Nelson Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Newham University Hospital is the nearest hospital to Wallend, about 1.4 miles south-west.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Diary the next grease test and clean
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
