Grease, kitchens and West Wickham
There are about 98 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 35 takeaways across West Wickham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. It’s Bromley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in West Wickham. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. London Fire Brigade covers West Wickham. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hospital like National Psychosis Unit, about 0.6 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Oak Lodge Primary School or anywhere near West Wickham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

TR19 inspection in West Wickham, done properly
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in West Wickham and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. If you are dealing with cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, we can help.
In a London area like West Wickham, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. 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. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in West Wickham.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Questions from West Wickham
Who inspects food businesses in West Wickham?
Food hygiene inspections in West Wickham are carried out by Bromley council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can the work in West Wickham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in West Wickham keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
When should we have our next grease test?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so trading isn’t affected.
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in West Wickham
Grease is fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
A kitchen near West Wickham station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Before you book anyone
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
