TR19 inspection in Yiewsley
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Yiewsley and across Greater London a clear record of the system’s condition. If you’re dealing with sections of duct that can’t be reached and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, we can help, from deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and post-clean checks onwards.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Yiewsley, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Yiewsley needs from us.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Grease, kitchens and Yiewsley
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 14 pubs, bars and clubs and about 9 hotels and guest houses across Yiewsley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Yiewsley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hillingdon council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
Where a hall near St Matthew's, or anywhere in Yiewsley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A hospital like Hillingdon Hospital, about 0.7 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Yiewsley is about 2 miles south-west of Hillingdon, in Greater London. Wherever you are in the UB7 postcode area, we cover TR19 inspection for commercial sites. Our Greater London coverage runs to 764 places, Yiewsley among them. For sites nearby, see our London page (16 miles or so).

Managing agents and facilities teams in Yiewsley
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, out of sight of the kitchen.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Yiewsley

When it’s something else

- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- A faulty or failing extract fan
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Yiewsley questions
Does London parking affect a job in Yiewsley?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Who inspects food businesses in Yiewsley?
Kitchens in Yiewsley are inspected by Hillingdon council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning right away.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so you don’t have to close during trading.
How often should grease be tested?
We suggest a next test date in every report, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Common problems we fix in Yiewsley
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
For schools such as Rabbsfarm Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
