TR19 inspection in West Ealing, done properly
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. Typical jobs include insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and missing access panels found on survey, on pre-clean surveys, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in West Ealing is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

TR19 inspection in West Ealing: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 50 pubs and bars and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around West Ealing, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. West Ealing is covered by London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Cathedral or anywhere around West Ealing, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Why deal with it now?
Sites in West Ealing that have never measured grease cannot tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

When to call us in West Ealing
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
A hospital like Ealing Hospital, about under half a mile south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in West Ealing.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
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, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, well away from where anyone looks.
