Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Wallington
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Wallington
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Wallington and across Greater London a clear record of the system’s condition. Common call-outs are for sites with gaps in their extract records and systems that need surveying before cleaning, across wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and access surveys.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Wallington 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What else we do in Wallington
Common problems we fix in Wallington
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Look out for any of the following:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Queen Mary's Hospital For Children about 1.4 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Before you book anyone
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What hours they’ll be on site
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Pre-clean surveys

What TR19 inspection looks like in Wallington
Food Standards Agency records include about 23 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in Wallington and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. London Fire Brigade covers Wallington. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Wallington, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Commuter trade near Wallington station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Wallington
Can parking be tricky for a job in Wallington?
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.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Wallington?
Fire safety enforcement in Wallington is handled by London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll book around them.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Wallington?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Readings show if the interval is right.
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. They’re included in the readings and pictures.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. If your building in Wallington has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them 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.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area
