TR19 inspections in Enfield Chase
TR19 inspection for commercial sites in Enfield Chase and across Greater London. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
How we handle TR19 inspection in Enfield Chase
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. If you have extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits onwards.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Enfield Chase is normally done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Why it’s worth doing now in Enfield Chase
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. In Enfield Chase, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Enfield Chase
Who is the fire and rescue service for Enfield Chase?
That is London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can the work in Enfield Chase be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How much time does an inspection need?
It takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. The visit is timed so cooking isn’t disrupted.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. For a job in Enfield Chase, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us where we can park and unload

When to call us in Enfield Chase
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in Enfield Chase, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
When something else is needed
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Design faults in the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks

TR19 inspection in Enfield Chase: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 97 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 42 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Enfield Chase. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected. Food hygiene inspections in Enfield Chase are the job of Enfield council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
For schools such as Chase Side Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. For kitchens close to Enfield Chase station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
