TR19 inspection in Belsize Park
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Belsize Park and across Greater London a clear record of the system’s condition. Common call-outs are for extracts that have never been grease tested and missing TR19 certificates or history, on access surveys, post-clean checks and wet film thickness tests.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Belsize Park is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Belsize Park
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. 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. Before any visit in Belsize Park, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

What else we do in Belsize Park
TR19 inspection in Belsize Park: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 99 pubs, bars and clubs and about 30 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central Belsize Park. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. Environmental health officers from Camden council inspect food businesses in Belsize Park. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Commuter trade near South Hampstead station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Fine Arts College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Belsize Park
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Belsize Park is Wellington Hospital, about 0.9 miles south-west.
What your quote should include

Different parts, different methods
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
How we price TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

FAQs for Belsize Park
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Belsize Park?
Kitchens in Belsize Park are inspected by Camden council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Belsize Park?
That’s London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Why survey before a clean?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and pictures. We can work from photos and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Honest limits
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
