- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
How we handle TR19 inspection in Wimbledon Park
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. If you have kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, we can put it right, from deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys onwards.
In a London area like Wimbledon Park, 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. For a job in Wimbledon Park, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Why act early in Wimbledon Park
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, which you will not know without measuring. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Wimbledon Park kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 38 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses in Wimbledon Park and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. Environmental health officers from Wandsworth council inspect food businesses in Wimbledon Park. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Historic houses near Wimbledon Park, such as Southside House about 1.8 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability is the nearest hospital to Wimbledon Park, about 1.1 miles north.

What we are called out for in Wimbledon Park
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Missing access panels found on survey
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Albemarle Primary School or anywhere near Wimbledon Park, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What your quote should include
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether VAT is included
- What insurance they carry
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
