TR19 inspection in Canons Park: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 18 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Canons Park. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Canons Park are the job of Harrow council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Canons Park is London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Camrose Primary With Nursery tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Lawrence or elsewhere in Canons Park, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

TR19 inspection in Canons Park, done properly
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. If you have heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and parts of the system left out of past cleans, we can help, from pre-clean surveys, deposit thickness tests and access surveys onwards.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Canons Park, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why it’s worth doing now in Canons Park
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. In Canons Park, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

What affects the quote in Canons Park
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Common problems we fix in Canons Park
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Edgware Community Hospital about 0.8 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Canons Park.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- 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
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
Common questions in Canons Park
Can a school canteen extract in Canons Park be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 23 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Canons Park. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which council inspects kitchens in Canons Park?
That is Harrow council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Canons Park. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. We can work from pictures and details, or visit, as suits the job.
