TR19 inspection in Hampstead Garden Suburb
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Hampstead Garden Suburb and don’t know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. If you have post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, we can help.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Hampstead Garden Suburb, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
If you need TR19 inspection in Hampstead Garden Suburb, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hampstead Garden Suburb
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Why deal with it now?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. For a site in Hampstead Garden Suburb, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
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 any work starts.

Kitchen extracts in Hampstead Garden Suburb
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 18 pubs, bars and clubs and about 8 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central Hampstead Garden Suburb. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Hampstead Garden Suburb, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Barnet council. 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. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Henrietta Barnett School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Heath Hall, about 0.8 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Hampstead Garden Suburb; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Highgate Private Hospital (about 1.3 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.

Hampstead Garden Suburb: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Hampstead Garden Suburb?
Kitchens in Hampstead Garden Suburb are inspected by Barnet council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
