TR19 inspection for sites in Grange Park

When something else is needed

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:

  • A faulty or failing extract fan
  • Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
  • The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person

Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on in Grange Park

  • Access surveys
  • Deposit thickness tests
  • Insurer audits
  • Post-clean checks
  • Wet film thickness tests
  • Pre-clean surveys

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Grange Park

A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. If you are dealing with ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and parts of the system left out of past cleans, we can put it right.

In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Grange Park 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.

Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

TR19 inspection in Grange Park: the local picture

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 138 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 53 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Grange Park. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Food hygiene inspections in Grange Park are the job of Enfield council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Grange Park is covered by London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Michaels Hospital about 1.2 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in Grange Park, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Grange Park is about 3 miles north-west of Edmonton, in Greater London. We provide TR19 inspection for commercial premises of every kind in Grange Park and the rest of Greater London. Grange Park is one of 764 towns, villages and districts in Greater London where we work for commercial clients. There’s also a page for London, about 10 miles away.

What the work involves, part by part

Horizontal duct runs

Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.

Extract fan and discharge

We look at where the extract discharges outside, as grease can build up there too.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Grange Park

For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Keeping the system healthy

No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:

  • Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
  • File every inspection report with your certificates
  • Tell us if menus or opening hours change
  • Keep to the recommended interval

For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.

Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. In a London area like Grange Park, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.

  1. First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
  2. The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
  3. Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
  4. We measure the grease and photograph each point.
  5. We report back with readings and a fixed quote.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Getting a quote

Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Advice

What we’re called out for in Grange Park

Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Grange Park shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.

Common reasons sites call us are:

  • Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
  • Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
  • Checking the result of a recent clean
  • Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean

For schools such as Grange Park Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Questions to ask before booking

  • How they set the interval to the next visit
  • Whether a written report and pictures are included
  • Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
  • Whether the quote shows VAT

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Why it’s worth doing now in Grange Park

If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Why Grange Park businesses choose us

  • Every job surveyed first
  • A fixed price before any work starts
  • Full insurance on every job
  • CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

FAQs for Grange Park

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Grange Park?

The local authority for Grange Park is Enfield council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.

Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Grange Park during the holidays?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 30 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Grange Park. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll fit the work in.

Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?

Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, photos and any inaccessible areas. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.

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.

What do the grease readings need to be?

TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.

Can you work evenings and weekends?

Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will book around them.

Is TR19 cleaning the law?

No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
