What the work involves, 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
Sections without access are recorded so panels can be added.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Botany Bay
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. Common call-outs are for missing access panels found on survey and confirming a clean reached the whole system, on deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Botany Bay 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.
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.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Botany Bay is usually out of hours.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Botany Bay?
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.
What we are most often called out for:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Botany Bay (Forty Hall is about 2.5 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
Common questions in Botany Bay
Can parking be tricky for a job in Botany Bay?
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 enforces fire safety at workplaces in Botany Bay?
Fire safety enforcement in Botany Bay is handled by London Fire Brigade. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It works whoever carried out the clean.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Grease, kitchens and Botany Bay
Food Standards Agency records include about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Botany Bay and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. It’s Enfield council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Botany Bay. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
School kitchens, at schools like St. John's Senior School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chase Farm Hospital (about 1.2 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Botany Bay is about 3 miles south-east of Potters Bar, in Greater London. Every kind of commercial site in Botany Bay, we can take on TR19 inspection. We can work out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Across Greater London, we cover 764 places, Botany Bay among them. We also work in London, around 12 miles away.
Here we cover the EN2 postcode area for TR19 inspection. TR19 inspection is available to premises on The Ridgeway and East Lodge Lane and the roads around them. Botany Bay is on the A1005, so it’s easy for us to get to for out-of-hours visits. We also cover Northaw Valley (1 mile north-west), Cockfosters (2 miles south-west), Grange Park (2 miles south-east), Hadley Wood (2 miles south-west) and World's End (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include London (12 miles south), City of Westminster (11 miles south), Marylebone (11 miles south), Kensington (13 miles south), St Pancras (10 miles south) and Shoreditch (11 miles south).
Landmarks near Botany Bay
In Botany Bay, that means kitchens and buildings near The Robin Hood pub, Trent Park and Highlands School. The nearest railway station is Crews Hill station, roughly 1 mile north-east of the centre. A little further out are Museum of Enfield (2.7 miles south-east) and Chase Farm Hospital (1.2 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Fir and Pond Woods and Bowyer's Water.
Why deal with it now?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. A booked night’s work in Botany Bay costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
