Greater London · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 inspections in Warner Estate
TR19 inspection across Warner Estate and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Warner Estate.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
About our TR19 inspection in Warner Estate
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers deposit thickness tests, access surveys and pre-clean surveys, and people most often call us about checking the result of a recent clean and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Warner Estate, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Never cook with filters missing
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
What affects the quote in Warner Estate
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- A single visit or a regular plan
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

What else we do in Warner Estate
TR19 inspection in Warner Estate: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 280 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 148 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Warner Estate, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. Kitchens in Warner Estate get their food hygiene inspections from Waltham Forest council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hospital like Wanstead Hospital, about 2.3 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. For kitchens close to Walthamstow Central station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Warner Estate is about 1 mile north of Walthamstow, in Greater London. Whatever kind of site you run in Warner Estate, TR19 inspection is something we can help with.

- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly

Common problems we fix in Warner Estate
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Warner Estate shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John's, or anywhere in Warner Estate, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
