How we handle TR19 inspection in Well Hall
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. Common call-outs are for missing access panels found on survey and missing TR19 certificates or history, on insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Well Hall is typically done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Why deal with it now?
Sites in Well Hall that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. In a London area like Well Hall, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

When it’s something else
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

- Wet film thickness tests
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What affects the quote in Well Hall
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
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, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Book the next test on the date in the report
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

FAQs for Well Hall
Do you work at weekends in Well Hall?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Well Hall keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which environmental health team covers Well Hall?
The local authority for Well Hall is Greenwich council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
How often should grease be tested?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® isn’t law; it’s BESA’s specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
