About our TR19 inspection in Enfield Wash
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests, and people most often call us about post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and insurers asking for TR19 evidence.
Kitchens around a place like Enfield Wash are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Enfield Wash
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Enfield Wash kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 100 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 63 takeaways in and around Enfield Wash, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. The fire and rescue service for Enfield Wash is Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Enfield council inspect food businesses in Enfield Wash. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as Eastfield Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Church and community hall kitchens, near St George's Church or anywhere around Enfield Wash, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

FAQs for Enfield Wash
Which council inspects kitchens in Enfield Wash?
Food hygiene inspections in Enfield Wash are carried out by Enfield council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you work in villages like Enfield Wash?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Enfield Wash included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so you do not have to close during trading.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
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 tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, pictures and any inaccessible areas. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Enfield Wash and across Hertfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

More services for Enfield Wash
Do you need TR19 inspection in Enfield Wash?
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Checking the result of a recent clean
A hospital like St Michaels Hospital, about 2 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a survey comes first
- Proof of insurance
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. We plan the journey to Enfield Wash and bring what the job is likely to need.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
