Greater London · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 inspections in Widmore
TR19 inspection across Widmore and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
TR19 inspection in Widmore
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Widmore and don’t know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. If you have insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and sites with gaps in their extract records, we can help.
In a London area like Widmore, 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’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What else we do in Widmore
How it works
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 we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Widmore.
- 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.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about parking and loading

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Widmore
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 111 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 44 takeaways in and around Widmore, up to about a mile and a half out. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Widmore sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Bromley council inspect food businesses in Widmore. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Bridgeways Day Hospital is the nearest hospital to Widmore, about 1 mile south. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St George, or anywhere in Widmore, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit

Widmore: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Widmore?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Widmore. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Widmore?
That is Bromley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Widmore. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work in Widmore?
Yes. Widmore is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
When should we have our next grease test?
We suggest a next test date in every report, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, with recommendations where something needs doing.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Widmore?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Widmore
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
If you run a café or takeaway near Bickley station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
What to look for in a quote
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How VAT is shown on the quote
