From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Yeading
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers post-clean checks, access surveys and pre-clean surveys, and people most often call us about insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and confirming a clean reached the whole system.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Yeading is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Why deal with it now?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Missing records can put a claim at risk. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. A building in Yeading may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.

How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. In a London area like Yeading, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the 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
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
Yeading kitchens: local notes
There are about 128 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 64 sandwich bars and takeaways across Yeading and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Yeading is covered by 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. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Joseph the Worker & Dovetail Centre, or anywhere in Yeading, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Brookside Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Yeading is about 2 miles north-east of Hayes, in Greater London.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Common problems we fix in Yeading
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Checking the result of a recent clean
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Yeading is Hayes Cottage Hospital, about 1.5 miles south-west.
Comparing quotes

Yeading questions
Can school kitchens in Yeading be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 36 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Yeading, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Which fire authority looks after Yeading?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Yeading. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
When should we have our next grease test?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, with recommendations where something needs doing.
Honest limits
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
