TR19 inspections in Brent Park
TR19 inspection for Brent Park, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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.
TR19 inspection in Brent Park, done properly
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. The work covers insurer audits, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Brent Park is normally done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In Brent Park, as across London, we usually work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- 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.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. We record what can and cannot be reached.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
Kitchen extracts in Brent Park
Food Standards Agency data counts about 193 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 188 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Brent Park. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Brent Park sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Environmental health officers from Brent council inspect food businesses in Brent Park. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Mitchell Brook Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Neasden Hospital is the nearest hospital to Brent Park, about under half a mile south.

Common questions in Brent Park
Can the work in Brent Park be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Brent Park can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Brent Park?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Brent Park. 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.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. If photos are not enough, we will survey first.
How often should grease be tested?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Common problems we fix in Brent Park
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Brent Park, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- What hours they’ll be on site
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
What affects the quote in Brent Park
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
