About our TR19 inspection in Enfield Highway
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. If you have extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and checking the result of a recent clean, we can put it right.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Enfield Highway is normally done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What TR19 inspection cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Design faults in the extract system
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
Do you need TR19 inspection in Enfield Highway?
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St James' Church, or anywhere in Enfield Highway, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether a written report and photos are included
TR19 inspection around Enfield Highway
The FSA’s data shows about 24 pubs, bars and clubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Enfield Highway. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. Kitchens in Enfield Highway get their food hygiene inspections from Enfield council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hospital like St Michaels Hospital, about 1.9 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Enfield Heights Academy or anywhere near Enfield Highway, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system, and we clear up before we go. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Enfield Highway 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 thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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 Enfield Highway a current picture. In Enfield Highway, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Why us?
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Photo reports with every job
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.

Enfield Highway: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in Enfield Highway be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 49 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Enfield Highway. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which council inspects kitchens in Enfield Highway?
That’s Enfield council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Enfield Highway. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
