TR19 inspection in Well Hill, 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. Our TR19 audits give sites in Well Hill and across Greater London a clear record of the system’s condition. If you have insurers asking for TR19 evidence and parts of the system left out of past cleans, we can put it right.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Well Hill is normally done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. If your building in Well Hill has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Design faults in the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
What affects the quote in Well Hill
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
TR19 inspection in Well Hill: the local picture
Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. London Fire Brigade covers Well Hill. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Lullingstone Castle is about 2 miles east), access may need planning. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Mission Chapel or elsewhere in Well Hill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Orpington Hospital, about 2.4 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Well Hill is about 3 miles south-east of Orpington, in Greater London. Whatever kind of site you run in Well Hill, TR19 inspection is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. Well Hill is one of 764 places in Greater London where we work for commercial clients. London is in our area too, about 14 miles from Well Hill.

Questions from Well Hill
How do you handle parking and loading in Well Hill?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Which environmental health team covers Well Hill?
In Well Hill, it’s Sevenoaks council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
What is grease thickness testing?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. The visit is timed for when the area isn’t in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, TR19® isn’t legislation. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
Why act early in Well Hill
Do not wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
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.
