TR19 inspection in Walthamstow Village, done properly
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Walthamstow Village and the rest of Greater London. If you are dealing with sites with gaps in their extract records and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean, we can put it right.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Walthamstow Village is usually done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Walthamstow Village.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
How we price TR19 inspection
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
Walthamstow Village kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 38 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs in and around Walthamstow Village, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Walthamstow Village is covered by London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
A hospital like Wanstead Hospital, about 1.7 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. Mary's Church or elsewhere in Walthamstow Village, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Walthamstow Village questions
Can parking be tricky for a job in Walthamstow Village?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit normally gets round them.
Can a school canteen extract in Walthamstow Village be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Walthamstow Village, the Food Standards Agency lists about 31 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so following it is the sensible course.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Walthamstow Village
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
For kitchens close to Walthamstow Central station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Why deal with it now?
Sites in Walthamstow Village that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. It’s better booked as a planned job in Walthamstow Village than handled as an emergency.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will explain what it covers.
