About our TR19 inspection in Wembley
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. Common call-outs are for kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and checking the result of a recent clean, on access surveys, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits.
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. For a kitchen in Wembley, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on in Wembley
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Wembley is typically done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Wembley: your questions answered
What do you need to know about parking in Wembley?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Wembley makes the visit easier to plan. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Wembley in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 28 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Wembley. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. The report flags anything missed.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Wembley kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 23 pubs, bars and clubs and about 8 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses in and around Wembley, up to about a mile and a half 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. Food hygiene inspections in Wembley are the job of Brent council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Wembley Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near St Augustine, or anywhere in Wembley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Wembley
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Look out for any of the following:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
If you cook for passing trade around North Wembley station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
