TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Bush Hill Park
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. Typical jobs include post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and sites with gaps in their extract records, on pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests.
Kitchens in Bush Hill Park, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
TR19 inspection in Bush Hill Park: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 44 pubs and bars registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bush Hill Park. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Bush Hill Park are the job of Enfield council’s environmental health team. 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. Fire safety in Bush Hill Park falls to 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Michaels Hospital (about 1.4 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Commuter trade near Bush Hill Park station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Stephen's Parish Church, or anywhere in Bush Hill Park, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Before any visit in Bush Hill Park, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Design faults in the extract system
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits

- Pre-clean surveys
What happens if it’s left?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. A busy site in Bush Hill Park builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.

What else we do in Bush Hill Park
How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bush Hill Park
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
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 we start.
