Greater London · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Gordon Hill TR19 inspection
Our technicians work in Gordon Hill on TR19 inspections, grease thickness testing, pre-clean surveys and post-clean verification. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos on every job.
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
What affects the quote in Gordon Hill
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
TR19 inspection in Gordon Hill, done properly
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 access surveys, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits, and the jobs we see most are ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and sections of duct that can’t be reached.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Gordon Hill 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: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What else we do in Gordon Hill
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Never cook with filters missing
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers

What TR19 inspection looks like in Gordon Hill
The Food Standards Agency lists about 29 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Gordon Hill. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Gordon Hill falls to London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
If you run a café or takeaway near Gordon Hill station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Michaels Hospital (about less than half a mile south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Michael & All Angels or anywhere around Gordon Hill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so it can be fixed before the clean.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Gordon Hill
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Gordon Hill?
That is Enfield council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Gordon Hill. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can the work in Gordon Hill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Gordon Hill needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
When should we have our next grease test?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. It lets us plan the clean and give you a fixed quote.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, 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. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Gordon Hill.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
If a kitchen in Gordon Hill has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. A busy site in Gordon Hill builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
