TR19 inspections and grease testing in Brunswick Park, Greater London
Professional TR19 inspection in and around Brunswick Park, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Never cook with filters missing
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
About our TR19 inspection in Brunswick Park
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. The work covers wet film thickness tests, deposit thickness tests and access surveys, and the jobs we see most are extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and sections of duct that can’t be reached.
Kitchens in Brunswick Park, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Grease, kitchens and Brunswick Park
Food Standards Agency records include about 36 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Brunswick Park. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Brunswick Park are the job of Barnet council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
School kitchens, at schools like St Andrew the Apostle Greek Orthodox School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. For kitchens close to New Southgate station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Brunswick Park needs from us.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Questions from Brunswick Park
Can parking be tricky for a job in Brunswick Park?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Which fire service covers Brunswick Park?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Brunswick Park. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. The visit is timed for when the area isn’t in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. We show your readings against those figures.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and pictures. We can work from pictures and details, or visit, as suits the job.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you work in Brunswick Park?
Yes. We work in Brunswick Park and the rest of Greater London, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
Leave it or put it right?
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Heavy use under BESA guidance, 12 to 16 hours a day, means a clean at least every 3 months, with testing showing whether more is needed.
What staff can safely do
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Brunswick Park
Grease is 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.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Where a hall near Oakleigh Community Church, or anywhere in Brunswick Park, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
