Your questions about TR19 inspection in Connaught Village
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Connaught Village during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 78 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Connaught Village. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
How do you handle parking and loading in Connaught Village?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
Verification means repeat readings and pictures once the clean is done. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
About our TR19 inspection in Connaught Village
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. We’re often asked to deal with kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and parts of the system left out of past cleans, across insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and access surveys.
In a London area like Connaught Village, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why it’s worth doing now in Connaught Village
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
TR19 inspection around Connaught Village
Look up Connaught Village on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3,027 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 262 sandwich bars and takeaways in Connaught Village and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. Fire safety in Connaught Village falls to London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run a café or takeaway near London Paddington station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hampden Gurney CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Connaught Village, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
What a clean won’t put right
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- A single visit or a regular plan
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What we do, step by step
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 we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. In a London area like Connaught Village, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
