TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in White City
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers wet film thickness tests, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks, and people most often call us about kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements.
In a London area like White City, 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, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why act early in White City
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
What staff can safely do
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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
TR19 inspection in White City: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 90 pubs and bars and about 41 hotels and B&Bs in White City and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. In White City, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hammersmith and Fulham council. 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.
If you cook for passing trade around Shepherds Bush station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Ark Swift Primary Academy or anywhere near White City, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Princess Louise Hospital (about 0.5 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
White City is about 1 mile north-west of Kensington, in Greater London. We carry out TR19 inspection for businesses, landlords and public buildings in White City and the rest of Greater London. Our area takes in 764 places across Greater London, large and small. London is in our area too, around 6 miles away.
We work across the W12, W11 and W10 postcode area for TR19 inspection and the streets around it.

Managing agents and facilities teams in White City
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Questions from White City
Can the work in White City be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in White City keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which fire authority looks after White City?
That’s London Fire Brigade. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we will survey first.
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.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Never cook with filters missing
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. In White City, as across London, we usually work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, 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.
