TR19 inspection in Hyde farm estate, done properly
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. The work covers insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks, and common reasons people get in touch are an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean.
Kitchens in Hyde farm estate, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, 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.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. In a London area like Hyde farm estate, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

Questions from Hyde farm estate
What do you need to know about parking in Hyde farm estate?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hyde farm estate?
Food hygiene inspections in Hyde farm estate are carried out by Lambeth council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
How long does grease testing take?
As a guide, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site does not lose a service.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Grease, kitchens and Hyde farm estate
Food Standards Agency data counts about 633 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 180 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Hyde farm estate. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Food hygiene inspections in Hyde farm estate are the job of Lambeth council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. London jobs normally start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St James' Hospital about 1 mile west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. School kitchens, at schools like Telferscot Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you cook for passing trade around Balham station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Why deal with it now?
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Hyde farm estate
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
