TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Wimbledon Chase
Before any clean in Wimbledon Chase, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you are dealing with kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and missing TR19 certificates or history, we can help, from pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests onwards.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Wimbledon Chase, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Hidden runs that need access panels first

What TR19 inspection looks like in Wimbledon Chase
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 29 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 6 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Wimbledon Chase. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. London Fire Brigade covers Wimbledon Chase. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Wimbledon Chase, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run a café or takeaway near Wimbledon Chase station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Atkinson Morley Hospital is the nearest hospital to Wimbledon Chase, about 1.2 miles north-west.

How we price TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Why act early in Wimbledon Chase
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, before the next clean is due. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Wimbledon Chase
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Wimbledon Chase?
That’s Merton council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Wimbledon Chase. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you work in Wimbledon Chase outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Is Wimbledon Chase in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Wimbledon Chase.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, TR19® isn’t legislation. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Wimbledon Chase and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
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, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
