TR19 inspection in Cricklewood
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. Typical jobs include missing TR19 certificates or history and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, across access surveys, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Cricklewood is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
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, ready for your insurer.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Diary the next grease test and clean
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll 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 are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Cricklewood is no exception.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Cricklewood
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 43 pubs and bars and about 10 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central Cricklewood. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Cricklewood falls to London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Anson Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hospital like St Andrew's Hospital, about 0.8 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Cricklewood is about 1 mile north-west of Kilburn, in Greater London. We provide TR19 inspection for commercial premises of every kind in Cricklewood and the rest of Greater London. Cricklewood is one of 764 towns, villages and districts in Greater London we cover for commercial clients. Our London page covers sites nearby (7 miles or so).

Not far away are Parliament Hill and Westbere Copse.
Why deal with it now?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in Cricklewood a current picture. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

When to call us in Cricklewood
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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Gabriel's Church, or anywhere in Cricklewood, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them

Questions from Cricklewood
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Cricklewood during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 68 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Cricklewood. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which fire service covers Cricklewood?
Cricklewood is in the area of London Fire Brigade. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What is grease thickness testing?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, by WFTT or DTT. The results are given in microns.
How much time does an inspection need?
It takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. The visit is timed so cooking isn’t disrupted.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What is post-clean verification?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
