How we price TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
TR19 inspection in Westcombe Park, done properly
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. Common call-outs are for kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and sections of duct that can’t be reached, across wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and access surveys.
Kitchens in Westcombe Park, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What else we do in Westcombe Park
Kitchen extracts in Westcombe Park
The FSA’s data shows about 54 pubs, bars and clubs and about 6 hotels and B&Bs registered across Westcombe Park and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. Environmental health officers from Greenwich council inspect food businesses in Westcombe Park. 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.
Where a hall near St George's Church, or anywhere in Westcombe Park, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Greenwich District Hospital about less than half a mile west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Westcombe Park is about 2 miles east of New Cross, in Greater London. Westcombe Park gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Our Greater London coverage runs to 764 places, Westcombe Park among them.

- Mechanical faults in the extract

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Expect the work in Westcombe Park to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Sites in Westcombe Park that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
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 come back with a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When to call us in Westcombe Park
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so the gaps can be closed.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
Commuter trade near Westcombe Park station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

FAQs for Westcombe Park
Can parking be tricky for a job in Westcombe Park?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit normally gets round them.
Do you work overnight in Westcombe Park?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Westcombe Park does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No, TR19® is not legislation. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
When should we have our next grease test?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
