Grease, kitchens and College Park
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 45 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of College Park. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. Food hygiene inspections in College Park are the job of Brent council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hospital like Princess Louise Hospital, about 0.9 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A kitchen near Willesden Junction station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Church and community hall kitchens, near Saint Mark's or anywhere around College Park, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

About our TR19 inspection in College Park
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in College Park and across Greater London a clear record of the system’s condition. If you have sections of duct that can’t be reached and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits onwards.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in College Park, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What else we do in College Park
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
FAQs for College Park
Which council inspects kitchens in College Park?
In College Park, it’s Brent council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work at weekends in College Park?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in College Park can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Leave it or put it right?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, which you will not know without measuring. A busy site in College Park builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
