How we handle TR19 inspection in Burlington Estate

After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. The work covers deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are sites with gaps in their extract records and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean.

Kitchens in Burlington Estate, 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, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.

The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What we’re called out for in Burlington Estate

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:

  • Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
  • Checking the result of a recent clean
  • Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
  • Parts of the system left out of past cleans

If you run a café or takeaway near Bond Street station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What paperwork you get at the end
  • If they look at the system before pricing
  • Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
  • Whether the figure could change on the day

Our hiring checklist

What happens if it’s left?

Sites in Burlington Estate that have never measured grease cannot tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. Planning ahead in Burlington Estate lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.

You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Grease, kitchens and Burlington Estate

Food Standards Agency records include about 242 pubs, bars and clubs and about 245 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Burlington Estate. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Burlington Estate is London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.

Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Burlington Estate is St James Workhouse, about less than half a mile north-east. Term dates shape school work: for a school like LITE Regal International School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How we price TR19 inspection

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • The scale of the work
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What to send for a quote

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

  • Any previous report or certificate
  • A few general shots of the system
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

The process

We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Expect the work in Burlington Estate to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.

  1. After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
  2. The same access points are opened up.
  3. We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
  4. Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
  5. We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.

Before we arrive

  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

Related advice

Multi-site and managed buildings

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Between visits

Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
  • Keep access panels clear and unpainted
  • Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
  • Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down

Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.

Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Burlington Estate

Can you come to Burlington Estate after we close?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.

Who is the fire and rescue service for Burlington Estate?

Burlington Estate is in the area of London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.

How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?

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.

What do you do to protect the area?

We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Burlington Estate included.

Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
