TR19 inspection in Woodford Bridge
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. Typical jobs include sites with gaps in their extract records and uncertainty over how often to clean, on post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and access surveys.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Woodford Bridge is usually done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. In Woodford Bridge, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
A post-clean check records grease readings and photos after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Any access problems are flagged ahead of the clean.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Woodford Bridge
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Woodford Bridge shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
For schools such as Roding Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Woodford Bridge saves time on the night.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Woodford Bridge 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.

They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Paul or anywhere around Woodford Bridge, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
